Cardiac amyloidosis: an update on diagnosis, current therapy, and future directions

Abstract: Purpose of reviewThis review aims to serve as a practical guide for differentiating the two most common forms of cardiac amyloidosis, as well as reviewing the approach to diagnosis and management, particularly as it pertains to transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. Recent findingsEmerging literature continues to unravel new understandings and challenges in the field of cardiac amyloidosis. Although cardiac amyloidosis has historically been thought of as a 'zebra diagnosis', current evidence has shown that this is… Show more

“…Unfortu nately, traditional criteria for low voltage (RS amplitude <5 mm in all limb leads and <10 mm in all precordial leads) appears to have a reduced sensitivity and spe cificity as an individual diagnostic measure (11). Other suggestive EKG findings include: pseudoinfarct patter ns (QS waves on 2 consecutive leads of at least ¼ the R wave amplitude) present in the absence of ischemic disease, atrial dysrhythmias, and conduction disease (atrial fibrillation, flutter, sinus node disease, AV nodal disease) which is further discussed below (12). It is rare to find an EKG with no abnormalities in the presence of CA.…”

“…AF is found most frequently in ATTRwt, follo wed by ATTRv and lastly AL CA. It is hypothesized that ATTRwt's increased rate of AF may be related to these variants increased age of diagnosis (12,15). One of the primary management strategies in AF is a focus on stroke risk and anticoagulation.…”
