Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis Presenting as Bradycardia, Renal Failure, Atrioventricular-Nodal Blockade, Shock, and Hyperkalemia (BRASH) Syndrome: A Case Report

BRASH syndrome involves the chain of events resulting from the collective effects of Bradycardia, Renal failure, Atrioventricular (AV)-nodal blockade, Shock, and Hyperkalemia. BRASH syndrome can rapidly progress to cardiac arrest. Early recognition is crucial. We present a case of transthyretin card...

description BRASH syndrome involves the chain of events resulting from the collective effects of Bradycardia, Renal failure, Atrioventricular (AV)-nodal blockade, Shock, and Hyperkalemia. BRASH syndrome can rapidly progress to cardiac arrest. Early recognition is crucial. We present a case of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) in an elderly woman who presented with BRASH syndrome shortly after an AV-nodal blocker was prescribed for atrial fibrillation.
