Systemic amyloidosis with severe amyloid heart disease--a case report.
Cardiac Amyloidosis was first observed by Vichow in 1957. Since then many more cases have been documented, but there has been no case report of mortality from severe cardiac involvement in the local literature. We describe one such case seen in the Singapore General Hospital and review briefly the clinico-pathological data on this uncommon entity.
