Genetic and Clinical Spectrum of Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis in Brazil

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Transthyretin hereditary amyloidosis (ATTRv) clinical variability has been widely reported, not only across countries and variants but also among families and distinct regions within a single nation. One of the principal challenges in disease management is the accurate determination of age of onset (AOO), which is heterogeneous and ...

Endomyocardial Fibrosis Associated With Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: Diagnostic and Management Insights From a Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 520-523, February 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with eosinophilic disorders, characterized by apical subendocardial fibrosis and thrombus formation. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a comprehensive, noninvasive evaluation, enabling diagnosis, assessment of disease activity, and guidance of therapy.

Technetium-99m pyrophosphate cardiac SPECT in endomyocardial biopsy negative cardiac amyloidosis

Radiology Case Reports, 2018
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

Targeted endomyocardial biopsy guided by real-time cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2017
BackgroundEndomyocardial biopsies (EMB) are an important diagnostic tool for myocarditis and other infiltrative cardiac diseases. Routinely, biopsies are obtained under fluoroscopic guidance with a substantial radiation burden. Despite procedural success,

Novel Echocardiographic Index for Risk Stratification of Ventricular Arrhythmias and Mortality Based on Right Ventricular Function

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Patients undergoing ICD implantation with both preprocedural echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were retrospectively analyzed to assess right ventricular (RV) function. Echocardiographic RV fractional area change (RVFAC) and the contraction pressure index (CPI), as well as CMR‐derived RV ejection fraction (RVEF), predicted ...

Ischemic Stroke in Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: A Clinicopathologic Study of Two Cases

Neuropathology, Volume 46, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Ischemic stroke is a rare complication of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). Manifestations of stroke in HES have been described in the radiologic literature; however the pathologic characterization of central nervous system (CNS) involvement in HES is limited.
