Echocardiography in cardiac amyloidosis
Heart Failure Reviews, 2015Echocardiography is the most widely used noninvasive test in patients with heart failure or abnormal cardiac findings on examination. Patients with amyloidosis may have significant cardiac abnormalities, several of which are highly suggestive of the disease. This article reviews echocardiographic features found in cardiac amyloidosis.

Cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis
Heart, 2012Cardiac amyloidosis of transthyretin fibril protein (ATTR) type is an infiltrative cardiomyopathy characterised by ventricular wall thickening and diastolic heart failure. Increased access to cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging has led to a marked increase in referrals to our centre of Caucasian patients with wild-type ATTR (senile systemic ...

American Heart Journal, 1953
Abstract Two cases of amyloidosis limited to the heart and one case of amyloidosis involving the heart and lungs are reported. All three patients were men in, or close to, the ninth decade of life. In all three cases auricular fibrillation and congestive failure were present. The literature is reviewed and a distinction drawn between systemic primary

Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
Current Cardiology Reports, 2017Transthyretin (TTR)-related cardiac amyloidosis is a progressive infiltrative cardiomyopathy that mimics hypertensive, hypertrophic heart disease and may go undiagnosed. Transthyretin-derived amyloidosis accounts for 18% of all cases of cardiac amyloidosis.

Cardiac amyloidosis at a glance
British Journal of NursingAmyloidosis can affect any organ in the body by deposition of amyloid fibrils. When these aggregate in the heart, it leads to cardiac amyloidosis a life-threatening and progressive disease. Although considered a rare condition, advances in imaging techniques and raised awareness have shown that it might be more frequent than has been historically ...

Pathophysiology of Cardiac Amyloidosis
Heart Failure ClinicsAmyloidosis refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders sharing common pathophysiological mechanisms characterized by the extracellular accumulation of fibrillar deposits consisting of the aggregation of misfolded proteins. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA), usually caused by deposition of misfolded transthyretin or immunoglobulin light chains, is an ...

[An atypical case of cardiac amyloidosis].
Recenti progressi in medicina, 2009The described report deals with the case of a patient with diagnosis of ischemic-hypertensive cardiomyiopathy based on the history of angina and inducible myocardial ischemia with normal coronary arteries. However, after cardiac magnetic resonance, the typical amyloidotic pattern is found and the final diagnosis of multiple myeloma is made at ...
