Cardiac amyloidosis is a severe condition in which the presence of abnormal protein (amyloid) in the heart tissue makes it hard for the heart to work properly.

Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis and is associated with an underlying plasma cell dyscrasia. The disease often is difficult to recognize because of its broad range of manifestations and what often are vague symptoms.

Due to the complex and varied symptoms related to hATTR amyloidosis, early diagnosis is rare. And misdiagnosis is common. There is an unjustifiable lack of equity to treatment for hATTR amyloidosis across Europe. Although therapies are approved at a European level, access across individual countries varies.
