Treatment of cardiac amyloidosis involves:
1. Stabilizing amyloid deposits: Tafamidis (stabilizes transthyretin)
2. Reducing amyloid production: Patisiran, Inotersen (for transthyretin amyloidosis)
3. Chemotherapy: For AL amyloidosis (e.g., daratumumab, bortezomib)
4. Heart failure management: Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers
5. Heart transplantation: In selected cases
Treatment approach depends on the type of amyloidosis (e.g., transthyretin, AL, or others).
