摘要: Cardiac amyloidosis cannot always be differentiated from constrictive pericarditis even after careful review of the clinical, laboratory, and hemodynamic data prior to pericardial exploration. This case report underscores necessity precise histologic examination for cardiac in all suspected cases at time pericardiectomy.
