Abstract Aims Patients with cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of patients who experience high morbidity and mortality. Early cardiac assessment and intervention with access to genetic counselling in a multidisciplinary Cardiomyopathy Clinic may improve outcomes and prevent progression to advanced heart failure.

Multi-Imaging Characterization of Cardiac Phenotype in Different Types of Amyloidosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bone scintigraphy is extremely valuable when assessing patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA), but the clinical significance and associated phenotype of different degrees of cardiac uptake across different types is yet to be defined.

Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is defined by heart failure (HF) with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of at least 50%. HFpEF has a complex and heterogeneous pathophysiology with multiple co‐morbidities contributing to its presentation. Establishing the diagnosis of HFpEF can be challenging.

Cardiac Structural and Functional Consequences of Amyloid Deposition by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Echocardiography and Their Prognostic Roles [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: This cross-sectional study aimed to describe the functional and structural cardiac abnormalities that occur across a spectrum of cardiac amyloidosis burden and to identify the strongest cardiac functional and structural prognostic predictors ...

Non-native beta-sheet formation: insights into protein amyloidosis [PDF]
Protein amyloidosis is a cytopathological process characterized by the formation of highly beta-sheet-rich fibrils. How this process occurs and how to prevent/treat the associated diseases are not completely understood. Here, we carry out a theoretical investigation of sequence-independent beta-sheet formation, based on recent findings regarding the ...

Sudden death in lambda light chain AL cardiac amyloidosis: a review of literature and update for clinicians and pathologists [PDF]
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common type of systemic amyloidosis, affecting around 10 people per million per year. In Europe, approximately 5000 new diagnosis per year are reported.

Non‐scaled Venn diagram of iron deficiency (ID) according to various definitions and associated outcomes. The prevalence of iron deficiency was high, irrespective of the definition applied. ID defined by TSAT <20% or serum iron <13 μmol/L, rather than the guideline definition, was associated with worse outcomes.

Relating the spectrum of cardiac signals to the spatiotemporal dynamics of cardiac sources [PDF]
An increasing number of studies use the spectrum of cardiac signals for analyzing the spatiotemporal dynamics of complex cardiac arrhythmias. However, the relationship between the spectrum of cardiac signals and the spatiotemporal dynamics of the underlying cardiac sources remains to date unclear.
