HEART FAILURE SECONDARY TO AMYLOIDOSIS, ABOUT A CASE
View through CrossRef
La amiloidosis cardíaca se caracteriza por el depósito extracelular de proteínas mal plegadas en el corazón con la propiedad histológica patognomónica de birrefringencia verde cuando se observa bajo luz polarizada cruzada después de la tinción con rojo Congo. Es un tipo de miocardiopatía restrictiva, en la que la infiltración de fibras amiloides en el tejido miocárdico produce una rigidez ventricular progresiva, engrosamiento de la pared y disfunción diastólica debida a una fisiología restrictiva, que se manifiesta como insuficiencia cardiaca con fracción de eyección preservada. Se describe el caso clínico de un paciente de sexo masculino de 60 años de edad, oriundo de la ciudad de Córdoba, hospitalizado en el Sanatorio del Salvador con diagnóstico de insuficiencia cardiaca descompensada, el cual, tras su estudio, se diagnostica amiloidosis cardiaca por biopsia extra cardiaca
