Prevalence and haemodynamic profiles of pulmonary hypertension in cardiac amyloidosis
Open Heart
MARCH 4, 2022
Objectives While cardiac amyloidosis (CA) classically involves the left ventricle (LV), less is known about its impact on the right ventricle (RV) and pulmonary vasculature. We performed a retrospective analysis to identify the prevalence and types of pulmonary hypertension (PH) profiles in CA and to determine haemodynamic and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
ECG Cases 28 Approach to Atrial Fibrillation
ECG Cases
