Amyloidosis is a group of disorders in which an abnormal protein gets deposited in tissues. Two important types of amyloidosis which can involve the heart are light-chain amyloidosis and transthyretin amyloidosis. They are known in short as AL and ATTR respectively. Earlier terms like primary amyloidosis, secondary amyloidosis, senile amyloidosis, and familial amyloid cardiomyopathy are now considered obsolete.
