Case of AF stroke with low-voltage hypertrophy and AV masses suggests amyloidosis; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights an exceptionally rare presentation of AA amyloidosis with cardiac involvement, diagnosed via amyloid A deposition within an aortic valve fibroelastoma following suggestive multimodal imaging.
Cho et al. (2025) conducted a case report in AA amyloidosis with cardiac involvement (n=1). Aortic valve replacement was evaluated. Aortic valve replacement in a 53-year-old woman with rare AA amyloidosis involving an aortic valve fibroelastoma resulted in her remaining well without heart failure at 4-year follow-up.
