What is Biopsy Evidence of Sequential Transthyretin and Immunoglobulin Light-Chain Cardiac Amyloidosis in the Same Patient about?
Currently adopted diagnostic flow charts consider transthyretin and light-chain cardiac amyloidosis as mutually exclusive. Here, we report for the first time, to our knowledge, the demonstration of a biopsy-proven dual pathology in an 80-year-old man with sequential development of both wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis and light-chain cardiac amyloidosis cardiomyopathy over a 3-year timespan. (**Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.**)
