Incidence rate of hospitalization and mortality in the first year following initial diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis in the US claims databases

Future studies are needed to further evaluate the outcomes within the subtypes of amyloidosis and understand the risk factors associated with poor prognoses.PMID:33830834 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2021.1913109
