AI Article Synopsis
- - A 50-year-old woman developed secondary oxalosis after bowel resection, leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy and a suspected diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis.
- - The case highlights important imaging findings using cardiac magnetic resonance and a technetium scan that are indicative of cardiac oxalosis, which can appear similar to cardiac amyloidosis.
- - This documentation broadens the differential diagnosis for patients showing these imaging characteristics, emphasizing the need for careful analysis in such cases.
Article Abstract
We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with secondary oxalosis following bowel resection resulting in restrictive cardiomyopathy and a diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis based on the initial workup. The case documented findings by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and technetium Tc 99m-labeled pyrophosphate scan in patients with cardiac oxalosis, which can mimic findings in cardiac amyloidosis, expanding the differential diagnosis.
