A case series of patients with cardiac amyloidosis evaluated at a Colombian university hospital
AL and ATTRv were the most common causes of CA followed by ATTRwt. This distribution, along with the clinical, and radiological characterization is consistent with previous reports of other regions. The p.Val142Ile mutation was the only one found in patients with ATTRv, suggesting a strong African genetic influence. These findings enhance our understanding of CA in the region.
