Jahanzaib Khwaja, MD, FRCPath, University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK, discusses traditional and novel biomarkers for prognostication in light chain (AL) amyloidosis. Whilst traditional factors such as cardiac biomarkers (troponin T, NT-proBNP) are great prognostic tools, newer factors such as the global longitudinal strain (GLS) and 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) also have prognostic value. Dr Khwaja highlights research assessing the value of these biomarkers in patients between 2010 and 2019, and further comments on how staging in AL amyloidosis may change in the future. This interview took place at the XIX International Symposium on Amyloidosis (ISA) in Rochester, MN.
