Cardiac amyloidosis happens when abnormal amyloid protein builds up in the heart muscle, making it stiff and reducing its ability to pump effectively. It can develop without obvious symptoms until heart failure occurs. An MRI may show characteristic changes in heart muscle consistent with amyloid deposition. Finding cardiac amyloidosis early may allow for treatment to help slow protein build-up before significant heart failure develops.
