A 76 year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of a first episode of heart failure, with severe left ventricular dysfunction and ventricular hypertrophy. We performed an angiography, which was normal, so he was discharged to be studied in an oupatient center. He is then readmitted because of syncope. In the electrocardiographic monitoring, non-sustained ventricular monomorfic tachyarrythmia was observed. Cardiac magnetic resonance and scintigraphy with Tc99 were compatible with cardiac amyloidosis. Confirmatory biopsy was not possible. We thought about implanting an automatic defibrillator, finally discarding it because of lack of evidence. Finally, the patient died from pulseless electrical activity.Varón de 76 años que ingresa por...
