The clinical manifestation of the renal disease is related to the predominant site of involvement. Most patients (about 75%) have predominant glomerular deposition and present with proteinuria that is usually in the nephrotic range.We report a case of primary AL amyloidosis presenting as progressive ...
Senile Systemic Amyloidosis: Clinical Features at Presentation and Outcome Cardiac amyloidosis is a fatal disease whose prognosis and treatment rely on identification of the amyloid type.

Heart failure (HF) refers to a complex condition resulting from the structural and/or functional inability of the heart to supply a normal cardiac output to meet metabolic needs. In HF, impaired ventricular filling or ejection of blood leads to fatigue , dyspnea , and fluid retention or edema...
Semaglutide Helps Heart Failure 'Regardless of Diuretics' When Heart Failure Is Actually Cardiac Amyloidosis Finerenone Fills a Therapeutic Gap in Heart Failure Heart Failure Drug Development Over the Eras Heart Failure Risk Assessment Using Biomarkers in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Analysis ...
Cardiac amyloidosis In patients with amyloidosis, cardiac involvement typically predicts their outcome. The main purpose of CMR therefore is the exclusion or confirmation of cardiac amyloid. While cine images are important to assess for the typical combination of concentric LV hypertrophy with reduced com...
Although sarcomeric HCM accounts for the majority of unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy seen in adults, a number of other non-sarcomeric diseases can produce increased wall thickness of the myocardium as part of their phenotypic expression. Infiltrative cardiomyopathies such as cardiac amyloidosis,...

SPECT for Detection of Cardiac AmyloidosisWu and Yu (2021) stated that non-invasive myocardial imaging modalities, such as cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), SPECT, and PET, are well-established and extensively used to detect cardiac amyloid (CA). In a meta-analysis, these researchers compared ...
