| Popis: | A 66-year-old woman, known to have hypertension, hypothyroidism, and atrial fibrillation for the last 8 years, presented with ankle swelling, abdominal distention, and worsening of breathlessness for the last 4 months. She was evaluated and found to have features of heart failure on clinical examination. Two-dimensional (2D) echo revealed global hypokinesia with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and mild pericardial effusion. The cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study showed all the characteristic features of amyloidosis (Figure 1). Figure 1 (A) Biatrial dilatation with normal sized ventricles. (B) Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with mild pericardial effusion. (C) There is late gadolinium enhancement in the IAS and the entire subendocardium of the LV not conforming to any coronary ... The delayed gadolinium kinetics was highly suggestive of amylodosis. |
