Article Synopsis
- An 84-year-old woman with worsening shortness of breath was diagnosed with heart failure, which was indicated by her electrocardiogram and elevated B-type natriuretic peptide levels.
- During treatment, she suffered from acute aortic thromboembolism and left atrial thrombus, leading to emergency surgeries to remove the clots.
- A biopsy revealed amyloid deposits, confirming she had transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, suggesting that her condition increased her risk of thrombosis even while in sinus rhythm.
