Cardiac Amyloidosis Involving the Pericardium

Özhan GÖLDELİ1, Bahri AKDENİZ1, Sema GÜNERİ1

Amyloidosis results from the deposition of fibrous amyloid proteins, frequently in the extracellular spaces of tissues and organs. In systemic amyloidosis, cardiac manifestations consist primarly of congestive heart failure and cardiomegaly and a variety of arrhythmias. These manifestations prominantly reflect diffuse involvement by myocardium amyloid, the endocardium, and valves. Pericarditis with effusion is very rare and rarely results in tamponade in cardiac amyloidosis.In this report, a case with cardiac amyloidosis involving pericardium is presented and reviewed the cardiac amyloidosis.
