Cardiac magnetic resonance strain imaging in systemic light chain amyloidosis
Background Systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL) is associated with a high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Cardiovascular involvement and determination of prognosis is underestimated by standard imaging parameters. Recently, cardiac deformation analysis of global circumferential and longitudinal strain has been shown to have great clinical impact on the assessment of prognosis and survi...

متن کاملLongitudinal Strain Imaging in Light-Chain Cardiac Amyloidosis
The systemic amyloidoses are a group of uncommon diseases characterized by extracellular accumulation of fibrillar proteins, leading to loss of normal tissue architecture and function (1). Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, which is probably the most frequent form, can potentially involve any organ, but when the heart is affected, the outcome is particularly poor, with a median survival of 4 to 6 mo...
متن کاملLight Chain Amyloidosis
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is caused by a usually small plasma-cell clone that is able to produce the amyloidogenic light chains. They are able to misfold and aggregate, deposit in tissues in the form of amyloid fibrils and lead to irreversible organ dysfunction and eventually death if treatment is late or ineffective. Cardiac damage is the most important prognostic determinant. The risk of d...
متن کاملLight-chain cardiac amyloidosis with neuropathy: a case report
Light-chain amyloidosis is a relatively rare multisystem disorder. The disease often is normally difficult to diagnose due to its broad range of characters without specific symptoms. A 62-year-old male patient presented with heart failure after experiencing a long period of unexplained and untreated gastrointestinal symptoms. Clinical examination and laboratory findings indicated a systemic pro...
