Treatment of AL amyloidosis with cardiac involvement and atrial fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia seen in AL amyloidosis. When cardiac involvement is present alongside AF, arrhythmia management requires a specific, evidence-guided first-line strategy tailored to this patient population.

Clinical scenario

AL amyloidosis with established cardiac involvement and concurrent atrial fibrillation — a combination that calls for careful, protocol-driven antiarrhythmic selection.

Treatment approach (partial)

A specific first-line antiarrhythmic agent is recommended for this setting. The complete selection criteria, clinical algorithm, and supporting evidence are available in the full protocol.

With regard to cardiac arrythmias, atrial fibrillation is the most common, and usually amiodarone is the first-line agent in patients with AL amyloidosis with cardiac involvement.
