At diagnosis, 3 years prior to presentation, he exhibited only minor signs of ATTRwt. At Day 0, clinical examination revealed atrial fibrillation and mild peripheral oedema. Anticoagulant and symptomatic treatment with beta-blocker and diuretics was initiated, and the patient was planned for sub-acute direct cardioversion, and the patient was discharged with a Holter monitor to outpatient care. At Day 7, analysis of the monitoring demonstrated spontaneous conversion to sinus rhythm and, unexpectedly, episodes of high-rate self-remittent sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and frequent ventricular ectopic beats. At Day 8, a sub-acute coronary angiography was performed which revealed a significant proximal left anterior descending artery stenosis which was treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and subsequently an internal defibrillator was implanted. Following visits at 1- and 3-month post-PCI at the outpatient clinic revealed no VT and suppression of ventricular ectopic beats.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The case illustrates some of the frequently encountered cardiac comorbidities (e.g. atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmia, and ischaemic heart disease) associated with ATTRwt. A high level of suspicion is warranted to identify treatable cardiac conditions [atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular (AV) block, and ischaemic heart disease] and to uncover potentially fatal cardiac conditions in patients with ATTRwt.<\/jats:p>\n
