Module 5 Lesson 3 (Step 7 – Monitoring and Long-Term Follow-Up in Cardiac Amyloidosis)

Long-term follow-up is a vital component of cardiac amyloidosis management. As therapies improve survival, regular monitoring enables timely recognition of disease progression, treatment side effects, or the need for therapeutic adjustment. This lesson provides a structured approach to follow-up care in transthyretin (ATTR-CM) and light chain (AL-CM) amyloidosis, focusing on serial NT-proBNP and troponin levels, echocardiography, and functional assessments such as NYHA class and 6-minute walk distance. Guidance is also provided on timing repeat imaging and managing device therapy, rhythm disturbances, and comorbidities. Learners will be equipped to deliver proactive, personalized care across diverse healthcare settings.
