Abstract

Cardiac amyloidosis is a manifestation of systemic amyloidosis, often masked as other diseases, which leads to late diagnosis. The publication presents a case report of AL amyloidosis with cardiac involvement, in initial workup mistaken for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Detection of red flags of amyloidosis allowed to choose the correct diagnostic strategy and make an accurate diagnosis.
