ABSTRACT

The term cardiac amyloidosis refers to a heart affection which is a consequence of the accumulation of amyloid in the heart tissue that can appear in the context of a systemic affection or in a localized form. A case is presented and it is analyzed the physiopathology and the diagnosis of this disease. Miocardiopathy by amyloidosis is an infiltrative inflammatory disease that is not frequently suspected. Echocardiogram not always allows identifying the classic restrictive infiltrative pattern.
