The patient had an ischaemic heart disease, conduction disease, and cardiomyopathy as the manifestation of cardiac amyloidosis. While two-dimensional echo is the screening tool of choice, cardiac biopsy remains the gold standard of diagnosis for amyloidosis. Cardiac pacing comes with its own unique set of challenges in patients with advanced amyloid cardiomyopathy and have to be overcome for symptomatic benefit of the patient. Coronary sinus may be utilized in such patients for single-site ventricular pacing and placing a stent may help to anchor the lead when placed within it.
