Transthyretin (TTR)-related cardiac amyloidosis is a progressive infiltrative cardiomyopathy that mimics hypertensive, hypertrophic heart disease and may go undiagnosed. We here report the case of a 83-year-old woman, which has rapresented an unique case of transthyretin-related cardiac amyloidosis, as a patient with an initial diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease later develops an infiltrative cardiomyopathy due to amyloid deposits.
