What Is Amyloidosis? – Dr. Jose Nativi
Dr. Jose Nativi is a cardiologist and director of the amyloidosis program at University of Utah Health Care and Huntsman Cancer Institute. He explains what amyloidosis is and why it’s so tricky to diagnose and treat. He gives great information and explanations about this disease and its different types and effects.
Announcer: So let’s talk about the condition first. You’re a cardiovascular expert, but from what I understand this condition can affect a lot of different organs in the body and that’s part of what makes it complex. Is that a fair statement?
Dr. Nativi: That’s right. Amyloidosis mainly is a condition when there’s proteins in your body that they misfold and then deposit on several tissues. So depending on what tissue is affected, symptoms are going to appear and also depending on the type of protein that is going into the several tissues, it will have an impact in your system.
