Abstract:Hereditary amyloidosis represents 10% of all amyloid deposit diseases. Cardiac involvement clinically presents as heart failure. As advanced imaging methods have become available, subclinical detection of cardiac involvement has become a must in those patients since it changes the prognosis of the disease. The objective of the present paper was to determine if echocardiographic parameters of auricular and ventricular mechanics better predict cardiac involvement compared to the classic echocardiographic paramet… Show more
