Intracardiac thrombosis and embolism in patients with cardiac amyloidosis.
BACKGROUND Patients with primary amyloidosis (AL type) have a poor prognosis, in part due to frequent cardiac involvement. Although intracardiac thrombus has been reported in anecdotal cases, neither its frequency nor its role in causing mortality is known. Furthermore, the clinical and echocardiographic variables that may be associated with thromboembolism in cardiac amyloidosis have not been ...
متن کاملIntracardiac thrombosis and anticoagulation therapy in cardiac amyloidosis.
BACKGROUND Primary amyloidosis has a poor prognosis as a result of frequent cardiac involvement. We recently reported a high prevalence of intracardiac thrombus in cardiac amyloid patients at autopsy. However, neither the prevalence nor the effect of anticoagulation on intracardiac thrombus has been evaluated antemortem. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied all transthoracic and transesophageal ech...
متن کاملCutaneous amyloidosis as the first presentation of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia
Background: Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia is a lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma with elevated serum immunoglobulin M and multi-organ involvement. Primary systemic amyloidosis usually develops due to immunoglobulin light chains depositions in different organs due to an underlying gammopathy. Case presentation: Our patient was an 86-year-old man with macroglossia, ecchymotic patches and bullous lesion...
متن کاملAtypical Presentation of Intracardiac Floating Thrombi in Hypereosinophilic Syndrome Complicated With Stroke and Systemic Embolization
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) describes a disorder characterized by persistent peripheral blood eosinophilia with evidence of multiple target organs damage caused by eosinophilia. HES most commonly involves the heart, and cardiac involvement typically presents in the form of endomyocarditis or myocarditis with apical mural thrombus formation.We present a case with atypical cardiac presentati...
متن کاملA Rare Presentation of Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report of Hepatic Amyloidosis
The clinically reported case of liver involvement with multiple myeloma (MM) is rare. Amyloidosis, defined as a tissue deposition of clonal light-chain fibrils, has been reported in 10-15% of the MM patients. We described a rare MM patient with the primal presentation of fulminant hepatic failure and biliary system involvement due to amyloidosis. Our patient had the primal symptoms of hyperbili...
