Echocardiography evaluation leads to correct etiological diagnosis of amyloid myocardiopathy- A Case Report.

Amyloidosis is a rare disorder that commonly involves the heart in the light-chain and senile form of the disease. We report an adult patient with a predominant right ventricular heart insufficiency with suggestive echocardiography findings of infiltrative myocardiopathy. The invasive coronary angiography showed no significant stenosis and the endomyocardial biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of amyloid myocardiopathy.
