Abstract
We describe a case of cardiac amyloidosis, which is an uncommon cause of heart failure. This case is unusual, as the patient presented with symptoms of angina in the presence of normal coronary arteries and sub sequently developed heart failure. Amyloidosis was secondary to myelom a with Bence-Jones proteinuria alone, which is rare.
