Are there situations where you would start treatment for cardiac amyloid in a patient with amyloid seen on biopsy, but still pending mass spectrometry results?
E.g. in a patient with tenuous cardiac function, would starting treatment several weeks earlier potentially improve outcomes?

I do not think of treating cardiac amyloid without the results of mass spec. You really need to know what type of amyloid you are dealing with.
