Ischemic Hepatitis as the Presenting Manifestation of Cardiac Amyloidosis
An abrupt elevation in aminotransferases without clear etiology may be attributed to hypoxic hepatitis. Underlying cardiac dysfunction, an important clinical clue, is often overlooked as a cause of hypoxic hepatitis, and understanding the interdependence of the heart and liver is crucial in making this diagnosis. Causes of cardiac dysfunction may include any of many different diagnoses; infiltr...
متن کاملIsolated Tricuspid Regurgitation: Initial Manifestation of Cardiac Amyloidosis
Amyloid deposits in the heart are not exceptional in systemic amyloidosis. The clinical manifestations of cardiac amyloidosis may include restrictive cardiomyopathy, characterized by progressive diastolic and eventually systolic bi-ventricular dysfunction; arrhythmia; and conduction defects. To the best of our knowledge, no previous cases of isolated tricuspid regurgitation as the initial manif...
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis.
Systemic amyloidosis commonly affects the heart. Indeed, cardiac symptoms may be the first clinical indicator of underlying amyloid deposition. Using two case studies, this article reviews the latest evidence regarding cardiac amyloidosis. The diagnosis of cardiac involvement can be established through imaging with echocardiography and magnetic resonance. Supportive evidence may be gained from ...
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a family of disorders of the immune system in which one or more organs in the body accumulate amyloid. There are four different forms of amyloidosis: systemic amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis, amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, hereditary, and senile amyloidosis. The abnormal proteins can be found as Bence-Jones proteins in urine mainly in patients with light chain (AL) amyloidosis....
متن کاملCardiac amyloidosis--an update.
Amyloidosis is a rare, mysterious and serious disorder. The extracellular deposition of seemingly homogenous and amorphous material actually represents the expression of very diverse pathologies. All amyloid fibrils share apple green birefringence under polarized light with Congo-red staining, and are arranged in beta-pleated structure on electron microscopy. More than 21 proteins have been ide...
