Amyloidosis  |

Cardiac amyloidosis – the deposition of amyloid fibrils in the tissues of the heart – is now known to be more common than previously believed.1

The prognosis for patients with amyloidosis has improved thanks to developments in diagnostic technology and treatment options, but successful treatment depends on early identification and referral to specialist services.1

This series of resources, developed by the BJC in collaboration with the National Amyloidosis Centre in London, aims to equip you with the skills to spot the warning signs of amyloidosis in your patients so you can help them access the treatment they need.

Presentations

These recorded presentations provide a comprehensive guide for all members of the cardiovascular and primary care teams on what to look for, and what to do if you suspect amyloidosis.
