Diagnostic approach to cardiac amyloidosis.
Amyloidosis is a relatively rare disease that may be underdiagnosed and could affect the entire human body. Many organs may be affected, which could increase the morbidity and mortality. Cardiac involvement is the leading cause of poor prognosis. Patients with cardiac amyloidosis are usually admitted with heart failure. The clinical presentation varies greatly, and using the correct approach is...
متن کاملImaging cardiac innervation in amyloidosis.
Cardiac amyloidosis is a form of restrictive cardiomyopathy resulting in heart failure and potential risk on arrhythmia, due to amyloid infiltration of the nerve conduction system and the myocardial tissue. The prognosis in this progressive disease is poor, probably due the development of cardiac arrhythmias. Early detection of cardiac sympathetic innervation disturbances has become of major cl...
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis: Diagnostic features and clinical implications.
Seven patients with cardiac amyloidosis were referred to King Khaled University Hospital. All patients in this study developed congestive heart failure. They had a long duration of illness and thickened ventricular wall with marked abnormalities in the left ventricular filling, and normal systolic function. Diastolic function is suggested as a possible mechanism of congestive cardiac failure in...
متن کاملTypical cardiac magnetic resonance imaging findings of cardiac amyloidosis.
We report the case of a 62-year-old man who presented with shortness of breath, lower extremity edema and clinical signs of congestive heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with severe diastolic dysfunction and biatrial enlargement. After aggressive diuresis and clinical improvement, a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) examinat...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging in cardiac amyloidosis.
The amyloidoses are a group of uncommon systemic diseases characterized by the extracellular deposition of pathologic insoluble amyloid protein in organs and tissues. The are 4 main types of amyloidosis: primary (AL, the most prevalent type), familial, secondary, and senile. Each of them has its own physiopathology, distinctive features, and variable cardiac involvement. The symptoms of cardiac...
