Echo and CMR look like Amyloidosis.
PYP negative
SIFE and UIFE no M spike.
Lambda 39mg/L, kappa 23, ratio normal.
Heart biopsy = AL lambda
Don’t sleep on an elevated lambda light chain! Elevated lambda that is > kappa requires additional work up

Congratulations Tyler and Keverly! Happy for you both.
“I’m proposing at the hospital that helps makes sure I will have a healthy heart to give,” says Tyler.
Tyler decided to celebrate his one-year post heart transplant by asking his soulmate, Keverly, to be his wife.
