14. Amyloidosis patients may experience an unpredictability in their heartbeat.
patients may experience this anytime of the day. It could be while lying in bed, or even when walking around. This is due to an increase in the amyloid level in the circulatory systems.
Amyloid can reduce the capacity of the heart to fill its chambers with blood in between thumps. The heart will pump less blood with each heartbeat. The amyloidosis can cause shortness of breathe in the person affected. Shortness of breath may be more severe when the patient is climbing stairs or doing physical activity.Amyloidosis can cause a sporadic pulse when it affects the electrical system of the heart. This condition is not treatable and patients are at greater risk of heart complications.
