Cardiac amyloidosis can be diagnosed noninvasively by echocardiography, cardiac MRI, or nuclear scintigraphy. Endomyocardial biopsy may be needed in the case of equivocal imaging findings or discordant data. Treatment is aimed at relieving congestive symptoms and targeting the underlying am...
Type 5 cardiorenal syndrome (secondary cardiorenal syndrome) is reversible or irreversible condition marked by simultaneous heart and kidney insuffi ciency, as a result of multiorgan disease such as sepsis, diabetes mellitus, sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, etc. The pathophysiological patterns of cardiorenal ...
A patient with cardiac amyloidosis presenting a rapid increase in technetium-99m-hydroxymethylene diphosphonate accumulation We assessed the changes in cardiac condition in a patient with cardiac amyloidosis, by means of dual nuclei single photonemission computed tomographic (SPE...

pressure control, noncompliance with oral medication, transient cardiac arrhythmia including atrial fibrillation and tachycardia, anemia, and renal dysfunction, advanced aging, sleep apnea syndrome, lethal cardiac arrhythmia, and myocardial disease secondary to systemic disease such as amyloidosis or ...
Blood (about 4 ml) was collected by cardiac puncture (left ventricle) and allowed to settle in vacutainer tubes (BD Bioscience) containing 3.2% sodium citrate for 10 minutes. Plasma was separated from blood by centrifuging at 2000 g. Extravasation of Evans blue was assessed by method ...
Conditions that have a specific treatment such as coronary artery disease, valvular disease, cardiac amyloidosis and constrictive pericarditis should be considered and evaluated as appropriate. Aggressive management of comorbidities, optimization of blood pressure control and volume status using diuretics as ...
Acute wound healing is a dynamic process involving the coordinated actions of both resident and migratory cell populations within the extracellular matrix environment leading to the repair of injured tissues. In contrast to this some wounds fail to heal in a timely and orderly manner, resulting in ...

Chest pain, primarily in patients with amyloidosis or due to angina Palpitations Physical examination Search for extracardiac manifestations of a systemic disorder that may cause secondary restrictive cardiomyopathy (eg, hemochromatosis, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, or scleroderma). General examination findings...
Cardiac amyloidosis should be suspected in any patient with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction or infiltrative cardiomyopathy Histological diagnosis of amyloid requires further investigation to determine the protein subunit type, because the therapies vary widely ...
