Studies show that nearly 80% of people diagnosed at age 80 or older live more than 18 months. However, life expectancy can vary significantly based on several factors:

• Overall health status
• Heart function and biomarkers
• Ability to perform daily activities
• Severity of symptoms like dizziness and fatigue While wild-type amyloidosis typically progresses more slowly than other forms of amyloidosis, medications like Vyndamax (tafamidis) can help slow the progression. One study showed that after about 5.5 years of taking tafamidis, 52.4% of people with wild-type amyloidosis were still alive.

It's important to discuss your specific symptoms of dizziness and fatigue with your healthcare provider, as they can better evaluate your individual situation and adjust treatment as needed.
