Cardiac amyloidosis involvement results in infiltrative cardiomyopathy with a hypertrophic phenotype and determine a significantly prognosis worsening. Early diagnosis is crucial for increase treatment effectiv
Original research in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is growing most explosively, and the editors of the JACC family of journals have had a front row seat to some of the best papers in this area. We felt it might be useful to bring together our favorite original research papers from variou...
The frontal lobeis the area responsible for personality and movement. The pre-frontal portion is perhaps the most evolved part of the brain and specifically allows judgment, planning and organization, problem-solving, and critical thinking. This is the area that gives us the ability to feel emoti...

Severe cellular defects are ...
Amyloidosis is a disorder due to the collection of uncommon proteins called amyloids in the organs and tissues of the body, while sarcoidosis is a disorder due to the granulomas formation in the lungs and lymphatic system. Thus, this is the key difference between amyloidosis and sarcoidosis. Fur...
1, Xuan Zhang1* and Jian Yang1* Abstract Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is a prevalent hematological tumor, and recent clinical data have highlighted the significance of atrial fibrillation (AF) as a crucial complication affecting the prognosis of MM...
Pain can be encountered throughout every step of cancer treatment, and thus all practicing oncologists must be capable of assessing pain, know the possible underlying pathophysiology, and manage it appropriately. The purpose of this review is to discuss neuropathic pain and NCP...
What is a BNP?Heart Failure:Heart failure occurs when the heart is not pumping blood as effectively as it should. This causes the cardiac muscle to become overworked and enlarged.Answer and Explanation: BNP stands for brain natriuretic peptide, although it has nothing to do with the brain and...
Recently, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used to detect ECV (ECVCMR) as a substitute for histology.1 However, performing CMR in the routine assessment of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) candidates may be highly impractical because of the long acquisition time that could ...
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is archetypical of a plasma cell dyscrasia causing organ dysfunction through deposition of its monoclonal protein. When identified at an early stage, much or all of the organ dysfunction may be reversible with treatment of the clonal entity; however, the sequelae of...
