Abstract
A 60-year-old man suffered progressive heart failure caused by restrictive cardiomyopathy after coronary artery bypass grafting. The cardiomyopathy was due to cardiac amyloidosis coexisting with coronary artery disease. Repeated echocardiographic assessment of cardiac structure and function was crucial for diagnosis.
