Cardiac tamponade as presentation of systemic amyloidosis.

Abstract:

:We present a patient with pericardial tamponade due to amyloid heart disease. A 64-yr-old man was admitted to the hospital because of fatigue and the abrupt development of chest pain and dyspnea. Echocardiography showed severe pericardial effusion and total pericardiectomy was necessary. Ten months later laboratory studies revealed proteinuria and high serum creatinine. A rectal biopsy showed amyloid deposition that was also found in the pericardial tissue. Pericardial tamponade is an extremely rare complication of cardiac amyloidosis. To our knowledge, only one previous case of cardiac tamponade due to amyloid heart disease has been reported.

  • Atrial fibrillation as a clinical characteristic of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: Experience from the Nordic ARVC Registry.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Recent studies in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) patients have drawn attention to atrial fibrillation (AF) as an arrhythmic manifestation of ARVC and as an indicator of atrial involvement in the disease progression. We aimed to assess the prevalence of AF in the Scandinavian cohort of...
