   Sammanfattning : AL (immunoglobulin light chain) amyloidosis is often associated with delayed diagnosis and thereby high early mortality that is not overcome by contemporary treatment. There is a need for diagnostic methods promoting earlier diagnosis, especially in patients with cardiac involvement. LÄS MER
