Treatment of End Stage Heart Failure Related to Cardiac Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a disease characterized by deposition of extracellular proteinaceous mate‐ rial known as amyloid in tissues. Amyloidoses are classified according to the protein composition and the clinical characteristics of the disease [1]. Amyloid protein can accu‐ mulate at various speeds in multiple organ systems and the disease can have localized or systemic manifestations depending on orga...
متن کاملMyocyte proliferation in end-stage cardiac failure in humans.
Introduced several decades ago, the dogma persists that cardiac myocytes are terminally differentiated cells and that division of muscle cells is impossible in the adult heart. More recently, nuclear mitotic divisions in myocytes occasionally were seen, but those observations were challenged on the assumption that the rate of cell proliferation was inconsequential for actual tissue regeneration...
متن کاملCardiac troponin T and I in end-stage renal failure.
BACKGROUND In patients suffering from end-stage renal failure, cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and I (cTnI) may be increased in serum without other signs of acute myocardial damage. Whether these increases are specific to myocardial injury or nonspecific is not completely clear. METHODS We investigated time courses of cTnT and cTnI over 1 year and the clinical outcome over 2 years in 59 patients wi...
متن کاملCardiac abnormalities in end stage renal failure and anaemia.
Thirteen anaemic children on dialysis were assessed to determine the incidence of cardiac changes in end stage renal failure. Nine children had an increased cardiothoracic ratio on radiography. The electrocardiogram was abnormal in every case but no child had left ventricular hypertrophy as assessed by voltage criteria. However, left ventricular hypertrophy, often gross, was found on echocardio...
متن کاملThe role of myocardial perfusion SPECT in short-term cardiac prognosis of end-stage renal disease
Introduction: One of the most important causes of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and even after kidney transplantation is cardiovascular diseases. Thus, cardiac evaluation is of utmost importance in the management of these patients especially during preoperative work up before renal transplantation. The aim of present study is to evaluate the role of myoc...
