Abstract

Amyloidosis has been regarded as a rare disease, however, recent reports demonstrated that the prevalence of wild type ATTR amyloidosis is up to 25% in elderly persons aged 80 years or older. Progressive conduction disease is common in ATTR amyloidosis and approximately 20- 40% of patients with amyloidosis is estimated to require the #pacemakerimplantation. However, the diagnosis of amyloidosis in these patients would be underestimated because the invasive #biopsy for the #diagnosis is often hesitated in elderly persons. Therefore, it is ideal to perform the invasive biopsy to diagnose #amyloidosis at the timing of pacemaker implantation. We here report the case that the #subclavianfatbiopsy with the pacemaker implantation was useful for the diagnosis of amyloidosis.
