Overview
History and Symptoms
History
- The clinical features of wild-type (senile) amyloidosis depend on the type of organ or organ system involved.
- Wild-type (senile) amyloidosis, classified as systemic amyloidosis, can involve any organ in the body.
- Cardiac and peripheral nerves involvement can result in clinically evident pathology.[1]
- The most commonly involved organ is the heart and majority of the patients present with signs and symptoms of heart failure.[2]
Common Symptoms
- Patients suffering from heart failure secondary to wild-type (senile) amyloidosis can present with:[2]
- Arrhythmias with associated symptoms, such as palpitations
- Syncope and presyncope
- Syncope on exertion is an ominous sign of cardiac amyloidosis, as these patients cannot augment their cardiac output due to poor filling of the ventricle (restrictive cardiomyopathy).[4]
- Postural hypotension may be observed in patients with subendothelial amyloid deposition.[5]
- Chest pain or chest discomfort [6][7]
- Non-specific symptoms such as:
Less Common Symptoms
- Less common symptoms correspond to the involvement of organs or organ systems other than the heart. These can include:
