Abstract:
Cardiac injury is a frequent characteristic in primary, senile and myeloma related amyloidosis, but it is unusual in secondary amyloidosis. We report a patient with complete atrioventricular block and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia as the initial manifestation of secondary amyloidosis. Necropsy demonstrated amyloidosis deposits in the specific conduction system.
