Description
Ghasaq Saleh, Omar Abou Ezzeddine, and Fadi Adel present a two thousand twenty-six case series on diagnostic traps in cardiac amyloidosis. The disease stiffens the heart as misfolded proteins deposit in its walls. Two main types account for nearly all cases, and treatments differ sharply between them.
Three cases show distinct pitfalls. One scan falsely suggested the transthyretin type until sharper imaging cleared it. Another patient's light-chain type hid behind a generic heart failure label for too long. A third kept forming clots in a heart chamber despite treatment. The lessons push for precise subtyping before therapy.
