Haematological disorders account for up to 8% of all ischaemic strokes in diVerent series. Table 1 shows the haematological disorders associated with ischaemic stroke.

Median survival of patients with AL amyloidosis with clinically significant cardiac involvement is 5 months when treated with cyclic melphalan and prednisone. We investigated a regimen of continuous oral melphalan as a single agent for patients with cardiac amyloidosis who were unable to tolerate prednisone or more aggressive chemotherapy. Thirty patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy were treate...
