Abstract
NAVARRO-ULLOA, Orlando D.; CONDE-CARDONA, Giancarlos; GAMERO-TAFUR, José A. and IBARRA-JIMENEZ, Gabriel. Restrictive cardiomyopathy caused byamyloidosis. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.6, pp.525-525. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2016.01.028.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is an uncommon presentation of amyloidosis and the rarest form of cadiomyopathies. There is amyloid deposition on the heart walls that limit its filling and is a long-term contributing factor to heart failure. A case where pathophysiology analysis, diagnostic and treatments methods are analyzed is presented.
