Prion amyloidosis occurred in the heart of 1 of 3 macaques intraperitoneally inoculated with bovine spongiform encephalopathy prions. This macaque had a remarkably long duration of disease and signs of cardiac distress. Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, caused by transmission of bovine spongiform encephalopathy to humans, may manifest with cardiac symptoms from prion-amyloid cardiomyopathy.
朊病毒淀粉样变性发生于 3 只经腹腔接种牛海绵状脑病朊病毒的猕猴中的 1 只的心脏。该猕猴疾病持续时间显著延长,并出现心脏窘迫的征象。变异型克雅氏病由牛海绵状脑病向人类传播引起,可能表现出源于朊病毒-淀粉样心肌病的心脏症状。
