Systemic Transthyretin Amyloidosis With Concomitant Cardiopulmonary Involvement: A Case Report
Systemic amyloidosis is an uncommon disease that includes light chain and transthyretin amyloidosis. In the early years, cardiopulmonary systemic amyloidosis had poor outcomes attributable to delayed diagnosis.

Toxic mechanisms of amyloid oligomers and therapeutic strategies
Abstract Amyloid oligomers are increasingly recognized as the major toxic contributors across protein‐misfolding disorders. In this review, we cover mechanistic evidence showing how these transient and structurally heterogeneous oligomers disrupt cellular homeostasis by: (i) permeabilizing lipid membranes and forming ion‐conducting pores; (ii ...

Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv)
Hereditary transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis (ATTRv amyloidosis) is a devastating disease characterized by broad range of clinical manifestations, including predominantly neurological, predominantly cardiac, and mixed phenotypes. This wide phenotypic variability hindered timely disease diagnosis and risk stratification in the past, especially in ...

Extracardiac 18F-florbetapir imaging in patients with systemic amyloidosis: more than hearts and minds [PDF]
PURPOSE: 18F-Florbetapir has been reported to show cardiac uptake in patients with systemic light-chain amyloidosis (AL). This study systematically assessed uptake of 18F-florbetapir in patients with proven systemic amyloidosis at sites outside the heart.

Systemic Amyloidosis with Cardiac Involvement: Features of Course and Diagnostic Difficulties
The diversity of clinical forms of amyloidosis is related to differences in amyloidogenic precursor proteins. Cardiac involvement is characteristic of AL- and ATTR-amyloidosis, with cardiac involvement developing in the vast majority of patients with AL ...

Extracellular volume quantification by dynamic equilibrium cardiac computed tomography in cardiac amyloidosis. [PDF]
Cardiac involvement determines outcome in patients with systemic amyloidosis. There is major unmet need for quantification of cardiac amyloid burden, which is currently only met in part through semi-quantitative bone scintigraphy or Cardiovascular ...

Photo‐Catalyzed Labeling of Amyloid Deposits in Human Tissue to Proteotype Amyloidosis Diseases
Amyloid‐ID, a ThT‐like photocatalytic probe, enables proteotyping of amyloid deposits by ROS‐mediated protein labeling. Applied to patient biopsies, amyloid‐ID identifies potential fibrinogen‐derived amyloid in laryngeal amyloidosis, revealing a mechanically sensitive fibrillation mechanism linked to vocal cord friction.
