Restricted left atrial dilatation can visually differentiate cardiac amyloidosis from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Abstract Aims Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is an infiltrative myocardial disease that occasionally mimics hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The aim of this study is to investigate the discriminatory ability of visual assessment of left atrial (LA) function between CA and HCM on echocardiography. Method...
