Cardiac amyloidosis--an update.
Amyloidosis is a rare, mysterious and serious disorder. The extracellular deposition of seemingly homogenous and amorphous material actually represents the expression of very diverse pathologies. All amyloid fibrils share apple green birefringence under polarized light with Congo-red staining, and are arranged in beta-pleated structure on electron microscopy. More than 21 proteins have been ide...
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis: An update on diagnosis and treatment.
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA), once thought to be a rare disease, is increasingly recognized due to enhanced clinical awareness and better diagnostic imaging. CA is becoming of heightened interest to the cardiology community given more effective treatment strategies for light chain amyloidosis (AL), as well as emerging therapies for transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). Furthermore, reversing amyloid de...
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 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...
متن کاملRecent advances in perioperative medicine: highlights from the literature for the cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesiologist.
There have been major advances in perioperative cardiothoracic and vascular medicine. Because of promising data, steroids, statins, and endothelin antagonists are being clinically tested in randomized trials with adult cardiac surgical patients. In vascular surgical patients, recent meta-analysis has revealed that interventions such as beta-blockade or endovascular stenting for peripheral vascu...
