Imaging 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 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 کاملNative T1 mapping in ATTR cardiac amyloidosis - comparison with AL cardiac amyloidosis - a 200 patient study
Background Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR amyloidosis) is an under diagnosed cause of heart failure with no truly quantitative test. Cardiac involvement is the leading cause of death and influences therapeutic choices. Since new therapies are imminent which aim to treat ATTR amyloidosis the lack of a quantitative test represents a critical step for drug development. In cardiac AL amyloidosis, ...
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis.
Systemic amyloidosis commonly affects the heart. Indeed, cardiac symptoms may be the first clinical indicator of underlying amyloid deposition. Using two case studies, this article reviews the latest evidence regarding cardiac amyloidosis. The diagnosis of cardiac involvement can be established through imaging with echocardiography and magnetic resonance. Supportive evidence may be gained from ...
