Restrictive amyloid cardiopathy (AL-amyloidosis) is a rare disease with an unfavorable prognosis. General practitioners and practicing cardiologists are not familiar enough with this nosological form. Diagnostic keys are hypodiastolic heart failure, severe arrhythmias, systemic lesions (involvement of kidneys, skin, peripheral nerves, lungs and endocrine glands). The diagnosis should be verified based on the results of magnetic resonance imaging and morphological examination of the heart. In thioflavin-stained T preparations, a specific green glow is detected during luminescence microscopy. The prognosis for life is unfavorable: death occurs from non-curable arrhythmias and heart failure.
