Cardiac involvement in systemic amyloidosis carries poor prognosis with a median survival of 5 months.(1) The authors report an unusual presentation of cardiac amyloidosis in the form of predominant mitral regurgitation. The patient responded very well to medical therapy with subsequent improvement of mitral valve dysfunction. The authors would like to highlight this multisystem involvement and the presence of a complex overlap of systemic features.
系统性淀粉样变性累及心脏时预后较差,中位生存期为5个月。(1)作者报告了一例以重度二尖瓣反流为主要表现形式的罕见心脏淀粉样变性病例。该患者对药物治疗反应良好,二尖瓣功能障碍随后得到改善。作者希望强调这种多系统受累以及全身特征复杂重叠的情况。
