Biceps Tendon Rupture as an Early Manifestation of Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a protein-folding disorder that leads to extracellular fibrillar deposition, often resulting in multiorgan dysfunction and tissue damage. Although several organs are subject to amyloid deposition, early identification and treatment of cardiac disease is crucial for efficacy of therapy...

| description | Amyloidosis is a protein-folding disorder that leads to extracellular fibrillar deposition, often resulting in multiorgan dysfunction and tissue damage. Although several organs are subject to amyloid deposition, early identification and treatment of cardiac disease is crucial for efficacy of therapy. Here, we describe the cases of 2 men who reported biceps tendon ruptures several years before their diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis. |
