Gertz MA - All patients with amyloidosis must have Congo red-stained deposits demonstrating green birefringence under polarized light. Amyloid deposits must be characterized to establish systemic or localized disease, and all forms of systemic amyloidosis. Where available, serum amyloid P component imaging may be used to quantify the extent of amyloid deposition. Both echocardiography and MRI are important tools for assessing the extent of cardiac amyloidosis.
