Surgical treatment of biventricular endomyocardial fibrosis. A case report.

abstract：:We report the M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiographic findings in a patient with familial amyloidosis. The diagnosis was made by the clinical picture and histologic evidence of amyloid in peripheral nerve biopsy. Though the patient had no clinical sign of heart failure, extensive involvement of the heart was demo...
