The authors describe the cases of two women suffering from AL amyloidosis with affection of the heart muscle in particular. In one of the patients there were also massive amyloid deposits in the lungs which is an exceptional finding. The observations confirm the adverse prognosis of amyloidosis, the rapid progression of the disease after the onset of symptoms of cardiac failure. The first cardial manifestation in both patients were palpitations. The first patient, but not the second one, had a myeloma confirmed on necropsy.
