[Arrhythmias and amyloidosis].

Cardiac amyloidosis is an infiltrative cardiomyopathy characterized by the extracellular deposition of amyloid fibrils within the myocardium. Beyond heart failure, patients with cardiac amyloidosis commonly present with arrhythmias and conduction system disorders. Atrial fibrillation is observed in up to 80% of patients at the time of diagnosis, with patients typically maintaining normal heart rates due to concurrent atrioventricular nodal disease. The thromboembolic risk is particularly high in patients with cardiac amyloidosis, and left atrial thrombi have been observed even in the absence of atrial fibrillation. Conduction system diseases are also highly prevalent, often necessitating permanent pacemaker implantation. The use of implantable defibrillators in this population remains controversial. This overview of published data and therapeutic strategies related to arrhythmias and conduction system disorders aims to assist readers in decision-making in complex clinical scenarios.
