Severe functional tricuspid regurgitation due to wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy without left ventricular hypertrophy: a case report.
Hiroki MatsuzoeHidekazu TanakaShunsuke SatoKyoko OtaniPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2022)
Isolated atrial amyloidosis, especially occurring predominantly in the right atrium and caused by ATTRwt-CM without LV hypertrophy, is extremely rare. However, differential diagnosis should be considered for patients with unexplained dilatation of the right-sided heart or bradyarrhythmia.
