A form of degenerative / infiltrative "cardiomyopathy". Need to consider amyloidosis.
|
- Amyloidosis can be confirmed by Congo red stain.
- However, the patchy pattern of involvement and lack of vasculopathy is unusual for amyloidosis. If Congo red is negative, need to consider differential diagnosis including toxicity (e.g. catecholamine or drug-induced cardiomyopathy). Suggest detailed clinical history, and EM study may be indicated.
- Unlikely to be ischaemic or infective processes.
