Dr. Mazen Hanna, cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic and co-director of the Amyloid Program, explains how cardiac amyloidosis can originate from two very different types of amyloidosis: AL or ATTR. Dr. Hanna illustrates how physicians can identify cardiac amyloidosis and look to different diagnostic work-ups to understand whether the issues are due to AL or ATTR amyloidosis.
