Abstract
Cardiac amyloidosis represents a prognostically relevant comorbidity in multiple myeloma. We report the case of a patient in whom severe heart failure symptoms as a consequence of cardiac AL-amyloidosis resolved after tandem high-dose melphalan therapy followed by autologous blood-stem cell transplantation. Partial regression of cardiac amyloid deposits and improvement of cardiac function were objectified.Entities:
