We performed an autopsy on a 58-year-old female with previously unsuspected cardiac amyloidosis. One day prior to expiration the patient underwent a mitral valve replacement with a Bjork-Shiley prosthesis for mitral valve regurgitation. The valvular defect along with the massive myocardial amyloidosis which created a restrictive cardiomyopathy, were the etiology of the patient's poor cardiac output and subsequent demise.
我们对一名58岁的女性进行了尸检，她生前未被怀疑患有心脏淀粉样变性。在去世前一天，该患者因二尖瓣反流接受了二尖瓣置换术，植入了Bjork-Shiley人工瓣膜。瓣膜缺损以及导致限制性心肌病的大量心肌淀粉样变性，是患者心输出量低及随后死亡的病因。
