Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare condition with an estimated incidence of 18-55 per 100 000 person-years. It is associated with either immunoglobulin light chain (AL) or transthyretin amyloid (ATTR), both of which result in a restrictive cardiomyopathy complicated initially by diastolic dysfunction and subsequently followed by biventricular systolic heart failure. Untreated cardiac amyloidosis carries an extremely poor prognosis with an estimated median survival time of less than 1 year in AL and 4 years in ATTR amyloidosis. This is the sixth described report of coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with underlying cardiac amyloidosis. Copyright © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2023. No commercial re-use.
