Prevalence, Characteristics, and Impact on Prognosis of Aortic Stenosis in Patients With Cardiac Amyloidosis

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is frequently found in older patients with aortic stenosis (AS). However, the prevalence of AS among patients with CA is unknown.

Rationale, application and clinical qualification for NT-proBNP as a surrogate end point in pivotal clinical trials in patients with AL amyloidosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Amyloid light-chain (LC) amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) is a rare and fatal disease for which there are no approved therapies. In patients with AL amyloidosis, LC aggregates progressively accumulate in organs, resulting in organ failure that is ...

Tafamidis Reduces Death and Hospitalization for Acute Heart Failure in Octogenarian Patients With Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Propensity Score–Weighted Cohort Study

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis results from the deposition of misfolded amyloid fibrils in cardiac tissue, leading to progressive heart failure.

Incidence and survival of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy from a French nationwide study of in- and out-patient databases

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2023
Background Precise data about ATTR-CM incidence rates at national level are scarce. Consequently, this study aimed to estimate the annual incidence and survival of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) in France between 2011 and 2019 using real ...

Cardiac amyloidosis in a kidney transplant recipient [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nephropathology
Systemic amyloidosis is a collection of diseases caused by the deposition of protein fibrils in organ tissues, leading to significant morbidity. Cardiac amyloidosis, a rare and debilitating condition, can affect any organ in the body.

Senile Systemic Amyloidosis: An Underdiagnosed Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Senile systemic amyloidosis is caused by a non-mutated form of transthyretin with the heart being the major organ involved. This infiltrative cardiomyopathy usually presents as slowly progressive heart failure.

Prognostic mortality factors in advanced light chain cardiac amyloidosis: A prospective cohort study

open access: yesESC Heart Failure
Aims Predicting mortality in severe AL cardiac amyloidosis is challenging due to elevated biomarker levels and limited thresholds for stratifying severe cardiac damage.

A simple voltage/mass index increases the suspicion of amyloidotic cardiomyopathy: an electrocardiographic and echocardiographic study of 767 patients with increased left ventricular wall thickness due to different causes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background-Amyloidotic cardiomyopathy (AC) can mimic true left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and hypertensive heart disease (HHD).

Isovolumic relaxation strain imaging is an accurate and sensitive approach for detection of active diastolic dysfunction: A preclinical study

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
A modified approach was developed to accurately identify the isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) using an apical three‐chamber view. Compared with conventional echocardiography, isovolumic relaxation strain imaging (IVSI) helps to detect the earlier alternations of diastolic function in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice.
