Cardiac amyloidosis involving the conduction system and the aortocoronary neuroreceptors. Clinicopathologic correlates

Chest

Abstract

In a patient with cardiac primary amyloidosis with conduction disturbances and dynamic cardiocirculatory disorders, the specialized system of the heart and the hitherto neglected cardiac nerve plexus and annexed aortocoronary glomera were studied histologically. Amyloid deposition in the conduction system and in the nerves and neuroreceptors seemed to correlate with the dysrhythmic manifestations, and, respectively, with some undue responses to vasodilator therapy. The possible hazards deriving from involvement of the aortocoronary glomera in patients with amyloidosis have been pointed out accordingly.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
