Amyloidosis is a group of disorders characterised by the accumulation of extracellular deposits of insoluble protein aggregates. Clinical management depends on the accurate identification of the amyloid precursor and underlying cause. We describe a rare case of apolipoprotein A-IV cardiac amyloidosis, the diagnosis of which required mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis. To be able to perform the differential diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis subtypes using imaging methods, analytical results and tissue analysis.To recognise the added value of mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic analysis.
