Isolated atrial amyloidosis information


Isolated atrial amyloidosis
SpecialtyCardiology

Isolated atrial amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis affecting the atria of the heart.[citation needed]

It is associated with accumulation of the protein atrial natriuretic factor.[1] It may cause abnormal heart rhythms.
