[Restrictive infiltrating cardiomyopathy in primary amyloidosis].
The authors describe a typical echocardiographic finding in restrictive infiltrative cardiomyopathy which after two years led to the diagnosis of primary amyloidosis in a 51-year-old woman. The predominating manifestations of the disease were renal damage with final failure, heart failure, monoclonal gammapathy and damage of other organs. Aimed treatment of amyloidosis and repeated haemodialysis did not prevent the patient's death from cardiac and renal failure. Primary amyloidosis was confirmed by histological examination and necropsy.
