Background Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is often diagnosed by the combination of low electrocardiographic voltage and typical imaging findings. Our aim was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of classical diagnostic criteria in patients referred for CA evaluation with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). ...
Infiltrative cardiomyopathy (amyloidosis, Fabry disease, etc.) 5. Septal myectomy or alcohol ablation before CMR 6. CMR images with poor quality DCM The diagnosis of DCM is based on the diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization78. Inclusion criteria were based on enlarged LV end-diastol...
Early cardiac amyloidosis is a major diagnostic challenge. The classical features of ‘right-sided’ congestive heart failure may not be evident until cardiac disease is very advanced. Elevated jugular venous pressure, a third heart sound, hepatomegaly and peripheral oedema may be very subtle or ab...
Ruberg, MD2 Since the identification of a valine-to-isoleucine substitution at posi- tion 122 (TTR V122I; pV142I) in the transthyretin (TTR)-derived fibrils extracted from the heart of a patient with late-onset cardiac amyloidosis, it has become clear that the amyloidogenic mutation ...
The cause of severe right heart failure and of equal diastolic pressures in both ventricles (as seen in constrictive pericarditis) in a 56-year-old woman was suspected to be cardiac amyloidosis on the basis of findings in both the echocardiogram (biventricular hypertrophy) and the electrocardiogram...

The diagnosis of Takotsubo based on 2018 InterTAK criteria defined as the presence of stress events and abnormal wall motion in non-coronary distribution [11].

When notes indicated that the inclusion criteria were met (e.g., statement of “biopsy proven cardiac amyloidosis”) but more details were not available, the method and date of diagnosis was set to “unknown”. For both models, cases were initially matched based on age and sex to patients ...
Transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CA) is being increasingly diagnosed, especially since the development of bone scintigraphy as a non-invasive diagnostic tool [2]. The disease is classified depending on the sequence of the transthyretin gene, either ATTRwt when no mutation is found or ...
