Abstract:
Wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM) is more prevalent than appreciated in the elderly. We present the case of an 88-year-old woman who underwent heart transplantation for ischemic cardiomyopathy and then presented 21 years later with new onset atrial flutter, found on endomyocardial biopsy to have new ATTRwt-CM. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
