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.

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%.

Cardiac Care of Patients with Cardiac Amyloidosis [PDF]
Cardiac amyloidosis, the majority of cases of which are due to immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) and transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), affects different aspects of the heart and cardiovascular system. Amyloid-induced cardiomyopathy, clinically manifesting with heart failure and electrophysiological abnormalities, has distinct characteristics ...

Multimodality Imaging in Cardiac Amyloidosis. [PDF]
Cardiac amyloidosis is an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure characterized by extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins. Advances in non-invasive imaging, including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), and radionuclide ...

Cardiac amyloidosis in non-transplant cardiac surgery [PDF]
Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare infiltrative cardiomyopathy that portends a poor prognosis. There is a growing recognition of co-existent aortic valve stenosis and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, with some studies suggesting that dual pathology may be ...

Amyloidosis is a systemic disorder characterized by the deposition of mis-folded protein molecules within various organs. Cardiac involvement may be the presenting feature of this condition or may be identified incidentally during investigation for ...

Coronary revascularisation in cardiac amyloidosis [PDF]
We present a case of coronary artery bypass grafting in a 78-year-old man with triple vessel disease and concomitant cardiac amyloidosis. Postoperatively he developed a profound low cardiac output state and multi-organ failure. He died 3 weeks following surgery.

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.
