“…128,129 These changes usually are combined with decreased content and altered composition of glycosaminoglycans, a major component of the connective tissue ground substance, 130,131 as well as with deposition of amyloid. 132 Among the consequences of the age-related extracellular alterations are increased general Lipofuscin (age pigment) is a brown-yellow, autofluorescent, electron dense intralysosomal substance representing incompletely degraded autophagocytosed damaged cellular structures (Fig. 1A,B).…”

“…29 Systemic senile amyloidosis The prevalence of SSA increases with each decade above the age of 60, occurring in 25% of people over the age of 80 years, and thus is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. [25][26][27][28] However, symptomatic senile cardiac amyloidosis was reported in a patient as young as 57 years. 89 The major constituent of the amyloid fibrils in SSA is derived from normal transthyretin (TTR), previously known as prealbumin.…”

“…25 58 70 111 Only a small proportion of patients develop cardiomegaly with heart failure and/or arrhythmia. 27 The extracardiac involvement is limited to the aorta, pulmonary vessels, and pulmonary alveolar septa. 25 27 In the heart, both atria and ventricles are involved, and the small to medium sized vessels are involved to a lesser extent (4-27%).…”

“…O amilóide nesses casos é composto pela molécula normal da transtirretina, que é uma proteína sérica que transporta tiroxina e retinol. Em adição à amiloidose sistêmica senil esporádica, em que a transtirretina acumulada é normal, foi também reconhecida outra forma, que afeta predominantemente o coração e resulta de deposição de forma mutante dessa proteína 21 .…”
