Evolutive Echocardiographic Changes in Cardiac Amyloidosis: Look at the Whole Picture

key information

summary/abstract:

Doppler echocardiogram provides not only structural information about heart chambers, valves and pericardium but also contributes to functional assessment. A unique feature of this assessment is its variability, not only due to heart disease course but also related to extracardiac conditions. We present a case of primary amyloidosis with two atypical characteristics: left ventricular outflow obstruction and low-grade diastolic dysfunction. Nevertheless, a more typical picture of cardiac amyloidosis was observed in the evolution of the disease coinciding with a second cardiac stressor, emphasizing the necessity of not focusing our attention exclusively to the heart.
