[Amyloidosis of the heart].
Two necropsic cases with heart amyloidosis in seninle age are described. The peculiarity in the first case is the parallel affect of myocardium and live with the absence of a disease, which might lead to secondary amyloidosis. The high elevated gamma-globulins (44%) in that case give grounds an autoimmune determined primary idiopathic amyloidosis to be presumed. The second case is with isolated senile myocardial amyloidosis.
