Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis in Black Americans.
Transthyretin-related cardiac amyloidosis is a progressive infiltrative cardiomyopathy that mimics hypertensive and hypertrophic heart disease and often goes undiagnosed. In the United States, the hereditary form disproportionately afflicts black Americans, who when compared with whites with wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis, a phenotypically similar condition, present with more advanced dise...
متن کامل[Familial approach in hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis].
Cardiac amyloidosis is a disease of complex diagnosis and treatment. Some subtypes of cardiac amyloidosis are inherited. Among these, the most common variant is caused by mutations in the transthyretin gene. Correct identification of amyloidosis produced by a genetic defect is of great importance because it modifies the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in patients and their families. We desc...
متن کاملNonbiopsy Diagnosis of Cardiac Transthyretin Amyloidosis.
BACKGROUND Cardiac transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is a progressive and fatal cardiomyopathy for which several promising therapies are in development. The diagnosis is frequently delayed or missed because of the limited specificity of echocardiography and the traditional requirement for histological confirmation. It has long been recognized that technetium-labeled bone scintigraphy tracers can...
متن کاملAnalysis of disease progression in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis
Background In transthyretin (TTR) cardiac amyloidosis, myocardial deposition of liver-derived TTR fibrils results in heart failure and death. Wild-type TTR (ATTRwt) amyloidosis is an acquired disease, whereas familial amyloidotic cardiomyopathy (FAC) is a hereditary form of the disease caused by mutations in the TTR gene resulting in the deposition of both mutant and wild-type TTR. Published da...
