[CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS. DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT OF AMYLOID CARDIOMYOPATHY. CASE REPORT].

Cardiac amyloidosis (amyloid cardiomyopathy) is a systemic disorder of protein metabolism with the predominant deposition of amyloid (fibrillar beta-protein) in myocardium and coronary artery walls. Early diagnostics of this condition remains a challenge because it has a poor prognosis and leads to rapid progress of the disease. Difficultis of its diagnostics are discussed with reference to an original observation.
