Cardiac amyloidosis is a heterogeneous disease that results from the accumulation of abnormal proteins within the heart, impairing its ability to pump blood. Over time, the build-up of these proteins causes the heart muscle to stiffen, eventually leading to heart failure, which can have dire outcomes if not found early.

The occurrence of disease in this instance is probabilistic, not deterministic. An elevated Lp(a) does increase the risk of early cardiovascular disease, but that risk is not set in stone.
