The most common presentations are congestive heart failure-mainly a restrictive infiltrative pattern- ... Despite advances in treatment, the prognosis for patients with amyloidosis is still poor and depends on the underlying disease type. Herein, we present new insights and recent advances in cardiovascular amyloidosis.
