Question
which of the following is the type of cardiomyopathy that is produced by amyloidosis?
dilated (congestive) cardiomyopathy
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
restrictive cardiomyopathy
obliterative cardiomyopathy
Amyloidosis leads to restrictive cardiomyopathy. In this condition, amyloid deposits in the heart muscle restrict the heart's ability to fill with blood during diastole. Dilated cardiomyopathy is mainly about enlarged and weakened heart chambers. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by thickened heart muscle. Obliterative cardiomyopathy is not a common major type related to amyloidosis in standard medical knowledge.
