Echo Parameters for Differential Diagnosis in Cardiac Amyloidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) as a part of a systematic infiltrative process is characterized by left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) thickening along with systolic and diastolic function impairment. Its poorer prognosis compared with other causes of LV wall thickening along with contemporary therapeutic options make the early detection and differential diagnosis of CA extremely important.
متن کاملIncidence, Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cardiac Amyloidosis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Cardiac involvement is frequent in systemic amyloidosis and is the most important determinant of the clinical outcome. The aims of this study were to assess the incidence and prognosis of cardiac amyloidosis and discuss the diagnostic issues related to cardiac amyloidosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We retrospectively studied all patients diagnosed with systemic amyloidosi...
متن کاملCardiac Amyloidosis: Typing, Diagnosis, Prognosis and Management
Amyloidosis is uncommon, with age-adjusted incidences of between 6.1 and 10.5 per million person-years,[1] and an estimated 1275 to 3200 new cases occurring annually in the United States.[1, 2] The contemporary understanding of amyloidosis points to a group of complex sys‐ temic disorders involving the extracellular deposition of misfolded proteinaceous material in many organs, most commonly th...
متن کاملEcho Parameters for Differential Diagnosis in Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Head-to-Head Comparison of Deformation and Nondeformation Parameters.
BACKGROUND A plethora of echo parameters has been suggested for distinguishing cardiac amyloidosis (CA) from other causes of myocardial thickening with, however, scarce data on their head-to-head comparison. This study aimed at comparing the diagnostic accuracy of various deformation and conventional echo parameters in differentiating CA from other hypertrophic substrates, especially in the gra...
