NUCLEAR IMAGING IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS
Histological analysis of endomyocardial tissue is still the gold standard for the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis but has its limitations. Accordingly, there is a need for noninvasive techniques to cardiac amyloidosis diagnostics.

Cardiac T1 Mapping and Extracellular Volume (ECV) in clinical practice: a comprehensive review. [PDF]
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is increasingly used to differentiate the aetiology of cardiomyopathies. Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) is the reference standard for non-invasive imaging of myocardial scar and focal fibrosis and is valuable in the ...

Nutritional risk, frailty and functional status in elderly heart failure patients
Abstract Aims Heart failure (HF) in elderly patients is frequently associated with frailty, malnutrition and reduced functional status. This study assessed the associations between nutritional risk, functional capacity, frailty and length of hospital stay (LOHS) in elderly patients hospitalized with HF.

Early-Onset of Transthyretin Amyloidosis in a Young Afro-Caribbean Woman With Thr60Ala Mutation
Transthyretin amyloidosis involves the deposition of transthyretin amyloid fibrils in the body. We report an unusual case of a young Afro-Caribbean woman harboring a Thr60Ala mutation who presented with clinical signs of heart failure and polyneuropathy ...

Single-centre experience on transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy : case series and literature review [PDF]
Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is a most often length-dependent axonal neuropathy, often part of a multisystem disorder also affecting other organs, such as cardiac, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, renal, meningeal and eye tissue.

Microvascular obstruction in cardiac amyloidosis
Abstract Aims Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils within the extracellular space, causing disarray of the myocardial structure and capillary architecture. This study aims to characterize the prevalence of microvascular obstruction (MVO) in patients with CA and to assess the association between MVO and prognosis ...

Four-Chamber Intracardiac Thrombi Complicating Wild-Type TTR Amyloidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare disease, and its prevalence varies depending on the type of amyloid protein involved. Several case reports make reference to the increased risk of thrombosis and thromboembolic events in cardiac amyloidosis. We report a case
