RESUMO
The authors present the clinical history of a 70-year-old male with arterial hypertension who sought medical advice because of dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea and episodes of paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea. The electrocardiogram showed left arterial hemiblock and abnormalities of ventricular repolarization compatible with a left lateral endocardiac lesion. Echocardiography revealed a hypertrophied left ventricle with a small ventricular cavity, compatible with an infiltrative-restrictive myopathy. Blood chemistry showed creatinine 4.9 mg/dl, BUN 133 mg/dl and alkaline phosphatase 204 i.v. The patient expired because of intractable heart failure. The histopathological examination of a piece of myocardium (authorized by the family) stained with Congo red confirmed the presence of abundant, diffuse deposits of amyloid, as had been suspected because of the echocardiographic findings:
