Cardiac amyloidosis increases risk of heart failure

Read full article: Cardiac amyloidosis increases risk of heart failure

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – In the last five years, Dennis Ennis has lost five of his 12 siblings to congestive heart failure, but he didn’t consider his own risk, even when he started having shortness of breath. A visit to a cardiologist revealed he had indeed developed congestive heart failure, just like his siblings. Dr. Vivian Navas, with Cleveland Clinic Florida, said in Ennis’ case and many others, the root cause is a condition called cardiac amyloidosis. As the amyloid deposits accumulated on his heart and his kidneys, Ennis’ only option was to undergo both a heart and kidney transplant. ā€œMy message and my mission is to make people aware that if you’re having signs of heart failure, you should get tested for amyloidosis.
