Abstract
Amyloid cardiomyopathy is an infiltrative disease with extremely adverse prognosis. New treatments are now emerging, however they are not aimed at eliminating the existing deposits of amyloid, but at preventing new ones. Given the difficulties of diagnosing the disease at an early stage, patients often end up in the hospital with advanced heart failure. In such cases, the efficacy of a pathogenic therapy is extremely low, which makes the treatment of an advanced stage of the disease very important. The article discusses the possibility of heart transplantation for patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy. A clinical case of a patient with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis who was performed biatric orthotopic heart transplantation is presented.
