title: [Sudden cardiac death in primary systemic amyloidosis. Description of a case].
abstract: Primary amyloidosis is usually a progressive disease involving many organs. The heart is frequently affected and almost 30 per cent of the patients have congestive heart failure. Cardiac arrhythmias are also common. We report a case of sudden cardiac death in a patient with primary amyloidosis.
