Tensorial tomographic Fourier Ptychography with applications to muscle tissue imaging [PDF]
We report Tensorial tomographic Fourier Ptychography (ToFu), a new non-scanning label-free tomographic microscopy method for simultaneous imaging of quantitative phase and anisotropic specimen information in 3D. Built upon Fourier Ptychography, a quantitative phase imaging technique, ToFu additionally highlights the vectorial nature of light.

Utility and pitfalls of the electrocardiogram in the evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis
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]
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 ...

Progression and prognostic significance of electrocardiographic findings in patients with cardiac amyloidosis. [PDF]
Abstract Aims This study aimed to evaluate the change of the main electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and their prognostic role across the main subtypes of cardiac amyloidosis [light‐chain amyloidosis (AL) and hereditary (ATTRv) and wild‐type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt)].

High-Throughput Precision Phenotyping of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy with Cardiovascular Deep Learning [PDF]
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) results from chronic remodeling caused by a broad range of systemic and cardiovascular disease including hypertension, aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac amyloidosis. Early detection and characterization of LVH can significantly impact patient care but is limited by under-recognition of ...

ASNC/AHA/ASE/EANM/HFSA/ISA/SCMR/SNMMI Expert Consensus Recommendations for Multimodality Imaging in Cardiac Amyloidosis: Part 2 of 2—Diagnostic Criteria and Appropriate Utilization [PDF]
Cardiac amyloidosis is emerging as an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure and mortality. Growing literature suggests that a noninvasive diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis is now feasible.

Senile Systemic Amyloidosis: Clinical Features at Presentation and Outcome [PDF]
Background Cardiac amyloidosis is a fatal disease whose prognosis and treatment rely on identification of the amyloid type. In our aging population transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is common and must be differentiated from other amyloid types.

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis
AbstractTransthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure (HF) and mortality worldwide. Advances in non-invasive diagnosis, coupled with the development of effective treatments, have shifted ATTR-CA from a rare and untreatable disease to a relatively prevalent condition that clinicians should consider on a
