title: Immunoglobulin D and cardiac amyloidosis: development and a case illustration.
abstract: Amyloidosis results from extra-cellular deposition of proteins which interfere with tissue function. We report the case of a patient with pathological heart involvement which is caused by immunoglobulin D amyloidosis, and review current data on the amyloidois diagnosis and management.
