We report the first case demonstrating an association between <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">GD</jats:styled-content>‐<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">TCL</jats:styled-content>,<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case"> HLH</jats:styled-content>, and cardiac amyloidosis, presenting a novel mechanism for rapid deterioration in these patients.</jats:p>
