Cardiac amyloidosis: a challenging diagnosis
Cardiovascular involvement of amyloidosis is present in 90% of cases, which is frequently associated with the primary form of the disease (AL amyloidosis). Clinical manifestations are represented by heart failure due to restrictive myocardiopathy and electrical impulse conduction abnormalities, which are clinically remarkable in up to 50% of the cases. The prognosis of patients with systemic am...
متن کاملNon-invasive evaluation of the myocardial substrate of cardiac amyloidosis by gadolinium cardiac magnetic resonance.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and distribution of gadolinium (Gd) enhancement at cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and to look for associations with clinical, morphological, and functional features. PATIENTS AND DESIGN 21 patients with definitely diagnosed CA (nine with immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis and 12 transthyretin relat...
متن کاملDiagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis by skin lesions.
In June 2011, a 74-year-old man was admitted for recurrent heart failure. He had hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal failure due to nephrosclerosis and diabetic nephropathy, prostate cancer, tuberculosis, and gouty arthritis, and had received a parathyroidectomy. In 2009, he had received a mechanical prosthesis to treat aortic stenosis. Cardiac auscultation was rhythmic, with no murmurs, and...
متن کاملIncidence, Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cardiac Amyloidosis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac involvement is frequent in systemic amyloidosis and is the most important determinant of the clinical outcome. The aims of this study were to assess the incidence and prognosis of cardiac amyloidosis and discuss the diagnostic issues related to cardiac amyloidosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We retrospectively studied all patients diagnosed with systemic amyloidosi...
متن کاملNoninvasive diagnosis of biopsy-proven cardiac amyloidosis.
OBJECTIVES This study analyzed the utility of electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic findings in the diagnosis of amyloidosis proven by endomyocardial biopsy. BACKGROUND Cardiac amyloidosis is associated with characteristic ECG and echocardiographic changes, yet each finding alone is relatively nonspecific. A combination of noninvasive prognostic parameters would be desirable for th...
