 The article presents a literature review reflecting modern approaches to the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis. The variants of cardiac amyloidosis and the role of echocardiography in its diagnosis and echocardiographic criteria of cardiac amyloidosis are discussed, the possibilities and areas of application of other diagnostic methods are shown. The article is illustrated by authentic echocardiographic images.

Key words: echocardiography, cardiac amyloidosis, restrictive cardiomyopathy
