CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS IN THE ELDERLY: ASSOCIATED ELEVATION OF SERUM ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE

H. M. HODKINSON and ARIELA POMERANCE*

Northwick Park Hospital and Clinical Research Centre Harrow, Middlesex

Cardiac amyloidosis in elderly patients is associated with elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase. This cannot be explained on the basis of co-existent hepatic amyloidosis and its pathogenesis remains obscure. The combination of raised alkaline phosphatase with cardiac failure of obscure cause in an elderly patient is a possible pointer to the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis.
