Item Clinical profile of patients with cardiac amyloidosis in India(Cardiological Society of India, 2023-02) Mohan, Bishav; Singh, Suvir; Tandon, Rohit; Batta, Akash; Singal, Gautam; Singh, Gurbhej; Singh, Bhupinder; Goyal, Abhishek; Chhabra, Shibba Takkar; Naved, Khizar; Jain, Aayush; Wander, Gurpreet S.Limited data exists on patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) in India, due to underdiagnosis and late presentation. We present single centre data from 13 patients over a 4 year period with a median age of 65 years. A majority presented with symptomatic heart failure (69%) and eight patients had confirmed AL amyloidosis. At the end of the follow up period, 46% patients died, with 30% of the overall cohort dead within six months. Among the survivors, 71% continue to have NYHA grade III/IV symptoms. A suggested algorithm for earlier diagnosis in resource constrained settings is also presented.
