Non-invasive evaluation of the myocardial substrate of cardiac amyloidosis by gadolinium cardiac magnetic resonance.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence and distribution of gadolinium (Gd) enhancement at cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and to look for associations with clinical, morphological, and functional features. PATIENTS AND DESIGN 21 patients with definitely diagnosed CA (nine with immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis and 12 transthyretin relat...
متن کاملPW01-027 – Predictors and survival of FMF related amyloidosis
Objectives Compare the amyloidosis group to only proteinuria group for biochemical, demographic and some other features such as flow-mediated dilation (FMD), to understand which markers may affect or help prediction of amyloidosis. We also evaluated the effects of elevated ADMA levels and impaired FMD responses on the survival time of CVD free period in two distinct groups with severe proteinur...
متن کاملNon-invasive risk stratification of patients with TTR amyloidosis
Methods 30 patients (21 male, 9 female; median age 69.5 years) with diagnosis of TTR amyloidosis (wild-type n=13, hereditary n=17) were evaluated by cardiac MRI (CMR; Achieva Intera Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands), and Technetium-DPD scintigraphy. EDV, ESV, EF and myocardial mass were analyzed on a standard workstation (Philips Viewforum). Longitudinal function was assessed by m...
متن کاملIncidence and survival in non-hereditary amyloidosis in Sweden
BACKGROUND Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous disease caused by deposition of amyloid fibrils in organs and thereby interfering with physiological functions. Hardly any incidence data are available and most survival data are limited to specialist clinics. METHODS Amyloidosis patients were identified from the Swedish Hospital Discharge and Outpatients Registers from years 2001 through 2008. RESU...
