Cardiac amyloidosis [PDF]

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 2018
Systemic amyloidosis comprises an uncommon group of disorders caused by the extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins in various organs. Cardiac amyloid deposition, causing an infiltrative/restrictive cardiomyopathy, is a frequent feature of amyloidosis and a major determinant of survival.

Cardiac Amyloidosis

Heart Failure Clinics, 2022
Amyloid deposits are defined by their tinctorial properties. Under the light microscope amyloid deposits are eosinophilic and amorphous when stained with hematoxylin and eosin. With Congo red staining the deposits are positive and under polarized light will exhibit green birefringence.

Base-to-apex gradient pattern of cardiac impairment identified on myocardial T1 mapping in cardiac amyloidosis

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
Late gadolinium enhancement imaging by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the most reliable method for identifying cardiac involvement in patients with amyloidosis, and myocardial T1 mapping is a novel CMR technique that enables the noninvasive ...

Cardiac amyloidosis [PDF]

Clinical Medicine, 2005
Systemic amyloidosis commonly affects the heart. Indeed, cardiac symptoms may be the first clinical indicator of underlying amyloid deposition. Using two case studies, this article reviews the latest evidence regarding cardiac amyloidosis. The diagnosis of cardiac involvement can be established through imaging with echocardiography and magnetic ...
