Diagnostic Value of NT-pro BNP Biomarker and Echocardiography in Cardiac Involvements in Beta-thalassemia Patients
Background N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a marker to evaluate the cardiac involvement in thalassemia. We aimed to evaluate conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography findings and its relation to plasma NT-pro BNP, Ferritin and Iron levels in beta-thalassemia patients. Materials and Methods This study performed on 164 participants equal of major beta- thalassemi...
متن کاملFatal perioperative myocardial infarction in four patients with cardiac amyloidosis.
AMYLOIDOSIS is caused by the accumulation of amyloid fibrils in vital organs, leading to functional disturbances. Approximately 40% of patients with primary amyloidosis have had cardiac amyloidosis. In cardiac amyloidosis, right heart failure is the predominant sign, whereas left heart function is preserved until late in the disease. Because of the cardiac involvement, when patients with cardia...
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...
متن کاملIntracardiac 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 کاملCardiac and Multi-Organ Transplantation in Patients with Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a group of diseases characterized by the extracellular deposition of a proteinaceous material in various organs and tissues, leading to progressive multiple organ failure and death. The presence of cardiac involvement and its relative predominance varies with the type of amyloidosis, tends to progress rapidly and has a very poor prognosis. AL amyloidosis is the most common form o...
