Prognostic impact of light-chain and transthyretin-related categories in cardiac amyloidosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients diagnosed with light-chain amyloidosis has a poor prognosis compared with transthyretin-related amyloidosis, while no difference proved in prognostic analysis between wild-type and mutated TTR amyloidosis. Some clinical factors related to the death prognosis, such as the LVEF, restrictive filling pattern, E-wave deceleration time and E/E' ratio are important prognostic factors.
