Abstract

The authors report four cases of cardiac amyloidosis, the diagnosis of which was confirmed by endomyocardial biopsy. They underline the value of immuno-histological studies with labelling of the biopsy fragments with anti-transthyretin and anti-light chain immunoglobulin antibodies. This approach provides a more precise typing of amyloidosis and a more accurate evaluation of the prognosis.
