AmyloidosisShock, cardiogenicMortalityHeart failureCardiomyopathyBackground:Cardiac amyloidosis is an underdiagnosed cause of heart failure. The mean survival rate without treatment is low, signifying the importance of early diagnosis. The prognosis depends on the time of diagnosis and the severity of the ...
Their outcomes might be limited and it might not only be about survival, but also quality of life.” Prospective studies, he added, are needed to determine clinical outcomes in patients with cardiac amyloidosis undergoing TAVR, as well as to determine the value of screening. He n...
Predictive value of assessing diastolic strain rate on survival in cardiac amyloidosis patients with preserved ejection fraction. Since diastolic abnormalities are typical findings of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), we hypothesized that speckle-tracking-imaging (STI) derived longitudinal ea... Dan,Liu,Kai,.....
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging:CMR has evolved as a key test in diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis. It helps differentiate amyloidosis from hypertensive heart disease and sarcoidosis. Additionally, it provides information about tissue characterization and helps detect early cardiac amyloidosis. However, it ca...

The impact of dialysis on the survival of patients with immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation. BACKGROUND: Acute renal failure requiring dialysis is associated with high mortality during autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). This study examine.....
Amyloidosis inserts abnormal proteins into tissues – in the heart, that results in an insidious decline cardiac function marked by increased stiffness (requiring high filling pressures that wet the lungs) and decreased contractility or inotropy (pumping ability). resulting in poor circulation of nutrien...
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 ...
Tafamidis 61mg was shown to be the first treatment to reduce cardiovascular hospitalizations and to improve survival in patients with Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Real-world data on the efficacy of transthyretin (TTR) stabilizers in patients with Heart Failure (HF) due to ATTR-...
