Nuclear Imaging for the Diagnosis of Cardiac Amyloidosis in 2021
Diagnostics, 2021 Cardiac amyloidosis is caused by the deposition of misfolded protein fibrils into the extracellular space of the heart. The diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis remains challenging because of the heterogeneous manifestations of the disease.

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 ...

Utility and pitfalls of the electrocardiogram in the evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2022 Background Cardiac amyloidosis is a protein misfolding disorder involving deposition of amyloid fibril proteins in the heart. The associated fibrosis of the conduction tissue results in conduction abnormalities and arrhythmias.

Blood-based microRNA profiling in patients with cardiac amyloidosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 INTRODUCTION:Amyloidosis is caused by dysregulation of protein folding resulting in systemic or organ specific amyloid aggregation. When affecting the heart, amyloidosis can cause severe heart failure, which is associated with a high morbidity and ...
