Abstract
- Key Clinical Message: Patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR‐CM) commonly present with dyspnea, fatigue, and edema. In our case, the main presentation was exertional angina, which was atypical in patients with ATTR‐CM and should be paid more attention to. A 54‐year‐old woman was admitted with a complaint of exertional chest pain, and she had a history of hypertension. The results of the electrocardiogram and echocardiography revealed the clues of cardiac amyloidosis, and the patient was finally diagnosed with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, then she received tafamidis, and the symptoms improved significantly.
