Findings that may warrant cardiac amyloidosis workup

Extracardiac manifestationsCardiac manifestationsImaging findings
Bilateral carpal tunnel syndromePersistent mildly elevated troponin levelsEchocardiography: increased thickness of left ventricle, right ventricular free wall, atrioventricular valves, interatrial septum
Unprovoked biceps tendon ruptureSymptomatic hypotension or orthostasis in response to hypertensive medicationElectrocardiography: discrepancy in QRS voltage and left ventricular thickness
Lumbar stenosisUnexplained atrioventricular block, heart block, or bundle branch blockStrain echocardiography: longitudinal impairment with apical sparing
Sensorimotor polyneuropathyElevated N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide not proportionate to severity of heart failureCardiac magnetic resonance imaging: increased extracellular volume or late enhancement
Autonomic dysfunctionFamily history of cardiomyopathyChest radiography: cardiomegaly
