Diastolic dysfunction, Restrictive cardiomyopathy, Amyloidosis.Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction still remains being one of the paradigms of modern Cardiology. Reaching the correct diagnosis and identifying the etiology is a diffi cult challenge, where the new techniques of strain rate may develop an important role. In therms of medical therapies, there is a lack of specific measures in order to improve the prognosis of these patients. Our clinical report tries to show the clinical situation and echocardiographic patterns that must establish the suspicion of cardiac amyloidosis.
