摘要

Amyloidosis refers to a group of heterogeneous diseases in which amyloid fibers deposited in organ and extracellular tissue comprise misfolded precursor proteins.[1] According to the variety of misfolded proteins,the site of production and the type of tissue infiltrated,amyloidosis of the myocardium is divided into five subtypes:immunoglobulin light chain (AL),secondary amyloidosis (or reactive amyloidosis),familial amyloidosis [transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis or hereditary amyloidosis],dialysis-related amyloidosis,and senile systemic amyloidosis.
