[Primary generalized amyloidosis with restrictive cardiomyopathy and severe chronic cardiac insufficiency].
The paper reports a case of restrictive cardiomyopathy due to cardiac amyloidosis. Diagnosis of this condition encounters difficulty created by the absence of pathognomonic symptoms of the disease. Major manifestations of amyloid cardiomyopathy are refractive chronic cardiac insufficiency, absence of cardiomyalgia, marked deterioration of diastolic filling of both ventricles, systemic hypotension, and disturbed heart rhythms.
