The Boston University study of patients with congestive heart failure led to the identification of a blood protein that can be used to help doctors identify the patients most at risk of developing ...

The cardiac amyloidosis diagnostic algorithm should always begin with a monoclonal protein screen to assess for the presence of a plasma cell disorder and, therefore, supportive evidence for AL-CM ...

An algorithm for evaluating patients for amyloid heart disease. The first step is to exclude any evidence of a plasma cell disorder. 99m Tc-DPD indicates 99m ...

An artificial intelligence-guided algorithm to identify cardiac amyloidosis received a breakthrough device designation from the FDA. Earlier identification could improve care of patients with ...

Cardiac Amyloidosis: An Approach to Diagnosis and Management Omaira Halwani; Diego H Delgado Disclosures Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2010;8 (7):1007-1113. 0 ...

A type of heart failure caused by a build-up of amyloid can be accurately diagnosed and prognosticated with an imaging technique, eliminating the need for a biopsy, according to a multicenter study.

Another name for this condition is cardiac amyloidosis. This article will discuss amyloid heart disease, including its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, risk factors, and treatment options.

Common conditions that can lead to heart failure include coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, previous heart attack, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, and some nutritional deficiencies.

For the first time, doctors can measure the effectiveness of chemotherapy for “stiff heart syndrome”, using an advanced form of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Researchers at the National ...

In cardiac amyloidosis, abnormal amyloid proteins can lead to the thickening of the heart wall, making it more challenging for the heart to fill with blood between beats.
