Abstract
Cardiac amyloidosis is an entity on increasing recognition, transthyretin variety is the most diagnosed in the third age. There is a recent availability of drugs that can improve the prognosis and quality of life of these patients. We present a case of transthyretin amyloidosis and the first use of tafamidis in our country.
