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

ABSTRACT Amyloidosis, characterized by the deposition of abnormal protein fibrils in organs, is classified as systemic or localized. Amyloid light chain (AL)‐type localized amyloidosis is uncommon, particularly when confined to the gastrointestinal tract.

Oxidative damage in immunoglobulin light chain and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis – a closer look
Heart failure is a progressive disease, representing a growing cause of morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality. An increasingly common type of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an immunoglobulin light chain and transthyretin ...

Pseudotumoral tracheobronchial amyloidosis mimicking asthma: a case report [PDF]
Introduction Tracheobronchial amyloidosis is an uncommon localized form of amyloidosis that can simulate a tracheal tumor. Clinical signs are not specific and the diagnosis is rarely given before performing a bronchoscopy with multiples biopsies.

Carfilzomib is highly effective in the treatment of multiple myeloma, but it has been associated with cardiovascular adverse events that impact patient outcomes. Our prior global metabolomic analyses indicated an association between hydrophilic bile acids and carfilzomib‐cardiotoxicity risk, although a causal relationship remained to be determined ...

Increased Serum Free Light Chains Precede the Presentation of Immunoglobulin Light Chain Amyloidosis [PDF]
Purpose Patients with immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) generally present with advanced organ dysfunction and have a high risk of early death. We sought to characterize monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-Ig) light chains before clinical presentation of AL amyloidosis.

Differences in immunoglobulin light chain species found in urinary exosomes in light chain amyloidosis (Al). [PDF]
Renal involvement is a frequent consequence of plasma cell dyscrasias. The most common entities are light chain amyloidosis, monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease and myeloma cast nephropathy.

ABSTRACT Monoclonal immunoglobulin deposition disease (MIDD) is a plasma cell disorder where immunoglobulin light‐ and/or heavy‐chains accumulate in various organs. Hepatic involvement can be challenging to diagnose, as manifestations are protean and Congo red staining is negative.
