Cardiac amyloidosis can cause dizziness and fainting (syncope) in older adults. Diagnosis requires echocardiography and biopsy, even with normal heart rhythm tests.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Cardiac amyloidosis is a progressive disease.
  • Peripheral neuropathy can be an early sign.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old presented with dizziness and exertional syncope.
  • Echocardiography revealed myocardial hypertrophy.
  • Patient had a history of peripheral neuropathy.

Findings:

  • Endomyocardial biopsy confirmed cardiac amyloidosis.
  • Exercise and Holter tests showed no rhythm or conduction issues.
  • Head-up tilt test indicated a vasovagal response.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering cardiac amyloidosis in patients with unexplained syncope and hypertrophy.

  • Suggests that vasovagal responses can coexist with or be exacerbated by cardiac amyloidosis.
  • Emphasizes the diagnostic value of endomyocardial biopsy in confirming cardiac amyloidosis.
