Jan 11th, 2022 - Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a complex disease considered to be the most common underdiagnosed form of restrictive cardiomyopathy. Accumulation of misfolded proteins called amyloid fibrils in the extracellular space results in clinical deterioratio...

Jan 1st, 2022 - The population prevalence of cardiomyopathies and the natural history of symptomatic heart failure (HF) and arrhythmia across cardiomyopathy phenotypes is poorly understood. Study aims were to estimate the population-diagnosed prevalence of cardio...

Dec 31st, 2021 - Previous studies have shown that natriuretic peptide levels are increased in patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) but not in constrictive pericarditis (CP). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic ut...

Dec 30th, 2021 - Advances in paediatric cardiology has improved the prognosis of children with inherited cardiac disorders. However, quality of life and physical activity have been scarcely analysed in children with inherited cardiac arrhythmia or inherited cardio...

Nov 25th, 2021 - BACKGROUND The cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapy in cancer treatment can damage cardiomyocytes. A common link in the pathogenesis is the proliferation of fibroblasts and the increase of collagen synthesis, leading to development of common endomy...

Sep 23rd, 2021 - Primary light chain amyloidosis (AL) is the most common systemic amyloidosis, resulting from a plasma cell dyscrasia, a hematological malignancy. It causes a restrictive cardiomyopathy (AL-CMP) in over 70% of individuals. AL-CMP is as lethal as st...

Apr 28th, 2021 - The investigators will conduct a monocentric , prospective, observational study, including 60 pregnant women, with history of at least one previous uterine scar, and scheduled for cesarian delivery. The participants will be divided into 3 equal gr...

Apr 26th, 2021 - Cardiac amyloidosis is a cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy with preserved ejection fraction associated with amyloid fibrils deposits in the myocardium. Two types of amyloid commonly infiltrate the heart: immunoglobulin light-chain amyloid (AL), ...

Oct 22nd, 2020 - Amyloidosis is rare systemic disorder characterized by the extracellular deposition of misfolded protein in various organ system, including heart. Among the several types of amyloid fibrils, the light chain and transthyretin amyloid proteins most ...

Sep 3rd, 2021 - Clinical practice guidelines on the management of heart failure by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) were published in August 2021 in the European Heart Journal.[1] HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) diagnosis requires e...
