Description:
The biospecimens consist of chest wall fat tissue samples collected during cardiac device implantation procedures. This adipose tissue, typically excised to create space for the device, is preserved for histopathological analysis to detect amyloid deposits. The analysis of these samples is crucial for diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis in patients at high risk. The tissue will be handled and analyzed by the HCA pathology laboratory, following standard procedures to ensure the integrity of the samples and the accuracy of the diagnostic results.
