Core Tip |
Symptomatic pulmonary hypertension is only rarely described and, when present, is typically associated with progressive disease, such as elevated filling pressures secondary to cardiac amyloid. In this case, the patient initially presented with pulmonary hypertension, she was found, 2 years later, to have amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis with cardiac involvement. We highlight the diagnostic difficulties presented by pulmonary hypertension in a patient with AL amyloidosis, and illustrate the complicated progression of the disease, as well as the poor efficacy of current palliative medicine. |
