Pacemaker Treatment in Familial Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy
Involvement of the heart is common in familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (FAP) and is manifested by disturbances of atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction and dysfunction of the sinus node. Pacemaker implantation was performed in 20 patients with FAP in northern Sweden between 1968 a...
