Rapid progression of aortic and mitral stenosis in a patient with AA amyloidosis: a case report [PDF]
Background: Aortic stenosis is a common finding in cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Younger patients often remain asymptomatic. If unrecognized, this can lead to serious complications such as heart failure.

Abbreviations: TAVI, transcatheter aortic valve implantation; ATTR‐CM, transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. We aimed to diagnose occult ATTR‐CM in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVI using bone scintigraphy. We verified a diagnosis of ATTR‐CM in 8 of 171 (4.7 %) consecutive aortic stenosis patients who underwent TAVI.

Abstract Aims Two general phenotypes of heart failure (HF) are recognized: HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and with preserved EF (HFpEF). To develop phenotype‐specific approaches to treatment, distinguishing biomarkers are needed. The goal of this study was to utilize quantitative metabolomics on a large, diverse population to replicate and ...

In immunoglobulin light-chain (L) amyloidosis the cause of death is most commonly due to cardiac involvement. Cardiac amyloidosis is frequently diagnosed by postmortem examination. There are many reports of diagnoses of cardiac amyloidosis established by

Abstract Background Sodium glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) reduce heart failure (HF) events in patients with heart failure and mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFmr/pEF). The randomized comparison of SGLT2i/MRA combination versus SGLT2i or MRA alone requires further testing in ...

ASNC/AHA/ASE/EANM/HFSA/ISA/SCMR/SNMMI expert consensus recommendations for multimodality imaging in cardiac amyloidosis: Part 2 of 2—Diagnostic criteria and appropriate utilization [PDF]
Cardiac amyloidosis is emerging as an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure and mortality. Growing literature suggests that a noninvasive diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis is now feasible.

Delays in diagnosis and treatment of ATTR cardiac amyloidosis: A real‐world data analysis
Abstract Aims and Background Cardiac amyloidosis leads to functional cardiac impairment and heart failure. Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) is the most common form. After initial suspicion, diagnosis involves imaging techniques, biopsy and genetic tests, prompting transthyretin stabilizer therapy to slow disease progression.

Background: The arrhythmic burden and cardiovascular risks of cardiac amyloidosis compared with other types of restrictive cardiomyopathies (RCM), such as hemochromatosis and cardiac sarcoid, have not been well characterized in the literature.
