Imaging cardiac ATTR amyloid
The heart is the principal site of involvement in nonhereditary ATTR amyloidosis and a major driver of treatment options and prognosis in hereditary forms of the disease. The goals of cardiac imaging in amyloidosis are to aid diagnosis, provide prognostic information, track disease progression and evaluate response to therapy. Echocardiography has long been the mainstay of cardiac evaluation in...
متن کاملPropi ' Osis Caused by Lipoidosis
AMONG cases of proptosis, I have met with three in which the causative lesion proved to be a form of lipoid granulomatosis, also known as lipoidosis and xanthomatosis. Two of these cases will be presented in this paper; in the third (Handousa, 1949) the lesion was mainly manifested in the temporal bones simulating double mastoiditis. The term lipoidosis covers several clinically distinguishable...
متن کاملCharacterization of an amyloid fibril protein from senile cardiac amyloid
A protein, ASCA, is isolated from amyloid fibrils extracted from heart tissue of five different patients with senile cardiac amyloidosis (SCA). The proteins of all five patients showed immunological identity when reacted with an antiserum raised against one of the proteins. In contrast, no reaction was obtained with antisera against a variety of other amyloid proteins. The antiserum against the...
متن کاملosis: risk factors and prognostic indicators
Purpose of review To highlight progress in the description of the natural course and prognosis of multiple sclerosis. Recent findings The general evolution of multiple sclerosis is now well known at the level of patient groups. Characteristics of relapses early in the disease and the occurrence of a progressive phase seemed to be the most reliable prognostic factors. Recent works suggest that t...
متن کاملRevisiting morphological features of cardiac amyloid with cardiac magnetic resonance
Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a cornerstone in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloid infiltration, not only due to the presence of typical post-contrast delayed enhancement but also because of accurate morphological characteritization. The aim of this study is to describe morphological features of cardiac amyloidosis by CMR and to establish their diagnostic accuracy. Methods...
