Importance Worldwide, the burden of heart failure has increased to an estimated 23 million
people, and approximately 50% of cases are HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) …

Cardiac amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular protein fibril deposition in the
myocardium leading to restrictive heart failure. Both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, along …
