This patient and caregiver guide from the HeartLife Foundation explains the rare condition of amyloidosis—a disease where misfolded proteins build up in organs, including the heart. When these deposits affect the heart, they can lead to heart failure. The resource outlines the main types of amyloidosis (AL, ATTR, AA), symptoms to watch for, diagnostic steps (including genetic testing and biopsies), and available treatments. It also highlights the importance of early detection and offers practical tips for daily management and support.
