Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Abstract Aims The prognostic role of high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs‐cTnT) as a biomarker in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) has yet to be fully determined, especially when compared with B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Methods and Results In this post‐hoc analysis of the ILLUMINATE‐CS (ILLUstration of the Management and prognosIs of ...

Light chain (AL) amyloidosis involves deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain-derived amyloid fibrils, whereas ATTR amyloidosis involves deposition of insoluble antiparallel beta-pleated protein within tissues, leading to organ-specific ...

An unusual case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, multiple myeloma and cardiac amyloidosis
Light chain amyloidosis has very rarely been reported in association with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We reported on a 76-years-old female who presented with simultaneous kappa-restricted chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and a lambda-restricted

Abstract Aims Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) is an increasinglyrecognized cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which may be diagnosed non‐invasively using 99mTc 3,3‐diphosphono‐1,2‐propanodicarboxylic acid (DPD) scintigraphy‐based diagnostic criteria.

Chronic Brucella infection associated with amyloid light chain cardiac amyloidosis: a case report
BackgroundAmyloidosis is a rare group of diseases characterized by extracellular deposition of amyloid fibrils. The most common types are amyloid light chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR), while serum amyloid A (AA) type is relatively rare.

The 366 patients diagnosed with transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) were analyzed regarding their clinical characteristics in the first year after approval of tafamidis 61 mg for ATTR‐CM in Germany. Nearly two‐thirds of the patients were in an advanced disease stage and 64% met the key criteria of the “Transthyretin Amyloidosis ...

Therapeutic options in systemic AL amyloidosis
Systemic amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a severe disease with unfavourable prognosis. Since the late 1970s different therapeutic modalities in AL amyloidosis have been investigated, trying to prolong survival.

A Rare Case: Primary Pulmonary Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a rare disorder characterized by the extracellular deposition of insoluble protein aggregates. There are two common types of amyloidosis: Amyloid A (AA) and amyloid light chain (AL).
