Abstract
Amyloidosis results from the deposition of fibrous amyloid proteins, frequently in the extracellular spaces of tissues and organs. In systemic amyloidosis, cardiac manifestations consist primarly of congestive heart failure and cardiomegaly and a variety of arrhythmias. These manifestations prominantly reflect diffuse involvement by myocardium amyloid, the endocardium, and valves. Pericarditis with effusion is very rare and rarely results in tamponade in cardiac amyloidosis.In this report, a case with cardiac amyloidosis involving pericardium is presented and reviewed the cardiac amyloidosis.
Özet
Amiloidoz, fibröz amiloid proteinlerin sıklıkla doku ve organların ekstraselüler boşluklarında birikmesi sonucu meydana gelen bir hastalıktır.Sistemik amiloidozda, kardiyak tutulumun bulguları kardiyomegali, konjestif kalp yetersizliği ve kardiyak aritmilerdir. Bu belirtiler özellikle endokardiyum ve kapakların diffüz amiloid tutulumunu yansıtmaktadır. Kardiyak amiloidozda efüzyonla birlikte seyreden perikardit çok nadir olup sıklıkla tamponada yol açmamaktadır. Bu makalede perikardiyal tutulum gösteren kardiyak amiloidoz olgusu sunularak kardiyak amiloidoz gözden geçirilmiştir.
