Amyloidosis is a pathology that occurs as a result of the accumulation of various misfolded proteins in the extracellular space. It is a serious cause of morbidity and mortality due to multi-organ involvement. One of the most important determinants of mortality and morbidity is cardiac involvement. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) may present with numerous clinical findings. In this article, we aimed to demonstrate the additional role of biopsy in the routine diagnostic pathway.
