Aims The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis in patients 1–2 years after trans‐catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and to assess their clinical and echocardiographic outcome and long ...

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a restrictive cardiomyopathy with a traditionally poor prognosis. Until recently, CA treatment options were limited and consisted predominantly of managing symptoms and disease-related complications. However, the last decade has seen significant advances in disease-modifying therapies, increased awareness of CA, and improved

Clinical Clues and Diagnostic Workup of Cardiac Amyloidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis is increasingly recognized as an underlying cause of left ventricular wall thickening, heart failure, and arrhythmia with variable clinical presentation.

BackgroundWhile patients with cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis are easily diagnosed with bone scintigraphy, the detection of cardiac light chain (AL) amyloidosis is challenging.

Cardiac Amyloidosis and Endomyocardial Biopsy: Correlation of Extent and pattern of Deposition with Amyloid Immunophenotype by immunogold in a single institution [PDF]
openBackground: Amyloidosis is an infiltrative systemic disease characterized by the extracellular deposition of fibrillar proteins in different organs leading to tissue damage and dysfunction. Cardiac involvement by amyloidosis is common.

Technetium-99m pyrophosphate cardiac SPECT in endomyocardial biopsy negative cardiac amyloidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis is an under-appreciated cause of heart failure. Establishing a diagnosis is important because traditional heart failure treatment regimens can worsen left ventricular failure in this disease. Endomyocardial biopsy is the gold standard

Cardiac amyloidosis is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure. It remains underdiagnosed despite a significant morbidity and mortality rate. The mean survival in patients with cardiac amyloidosis is less than 1 year in untreated primary light ...

Nuclear imaging for cardiac amyloidosis [PDF]
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 non-invasive modalities to diagnose cardiac amyloidosis.

Aims As evidenced by scintigraphy imaging, the prevalence of transthyretin (TTR) cardiac amyloidosis in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) ranges between 13% and 19%.
