A patient presented with high-output cardiac failure and was found to have plasma-cell leukemia. No cause for the cardiac failure was found, and there was no response to treatment with diuretics and thiamine. Chemotherapy for the leukemia resulted in resolution of the cardiac failure, suggesting that the latter was caused by the leukemia--a hitherto unreported association.
一名患者出现高输出量心力衰竭，被诊断为浆细胞白血病。未发现导致心力衰竭的原因，且使用利尿剂和硫胺治疗无效。针对白血病的化疗使心力衰竭得到缓解，这表明心力衰竭是由白血病引起的——这是一种此前未被报道过的关联。
