Abstract
A patient with multiple myeloma and amyloidosis was admitted to hospital following successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation at home. No disturbances in heart rhythm were seen during the first 48 hours of continuous telemetric ECG recording. The patient died from ventricular asystole due to complete atrioventricular block, while he was on a 24-hour Holter monitoring the fifth night in hospital. Patients with known cardiac amyloidosis and syncope should undergo long-term ECG recordings, preferably by telemetry. Repeated registrations may be necessary to discover disturbances in heart rhythm.
