Immunoglobulin D and cardiac amyloidosis: development and a case illustration

Ann Biol Clin (Paris). 2016 Jun 1;74(3):329-32. doi: 10.1684/abc.2016.1157.

Abstract

Amyloidosis results from extra-cellular deposition of proteins which interfere with tissue function. We report the case of a patient with pathological heart involvement which is caused by immunoglobulin D amyloidosis, and review current data on the amyloidois diagnosis and management.

Keywords: amyloidosis; cardiomyopathy.
