  ABSTRACT: Cardiac amyloidosis is a disease characterized by the deposition of misfolded proteins in the myocardium, leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy. It comprises two subtypes: immunoglobulin light chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL) and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR). ATTR is classified as wild-type (wtATTR) and hereditary (hATTR), depending on the presence or absence of a transthyretin (TTR) genetic mutation. The diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis is challenging due to nonspecific symptoms with other cardiac conditions, often resulting in misdiagnosis. This mini review provides an in-depth analysis of cardiac amyloidosis, focusing on its subtypes, clinical manifestations, diagnostic multimodal imaging, and recent therapeutic advancements.
