Cardiac amyloidosis screening using a relative apical sparing pattern in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy

Cardiac amyloidosis screening using a relative apical sparing pattern in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy

Abstract Background Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) mimics left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). It is treatable, but its prognosis is poor. A simple screening tool for CA would be valuable. CA is more precisely diagnosed with echocardiographic deformation parameters (e.g., relative apical sparing pattern [R...
