Hypertension is the leading risk factor for numerous cardiovascular diseases, including
stroke, coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, and peripheral vascular disease. In …

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure, arrhythmias,
and sudden cardiac death. While CA was previously rapidly fatal, recent advances in …

To determine the differences in left atrial (LA) function and geometry assessed by cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR) between transthyretin (ATTR) and immunoglobulin light chain …

In cardiac amyloidosis (CA), amyloid infiltration results in increased left ventricular (LV) mass
disproportionate to electrocardiographic (EKG) voltage. We assessed the relationship …

Abstract Purpose of Review Radiation-induced cardiovascular disease, including coronary
artery disease, is a well-known sequela of radiation therapy and represents a significant …

Aims While transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) assessment of left ventricular end-
diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is critically important, the current paradigm is subject to error and …

Aims Aortic valve area (AVA) used for echocardiographic assessment of aortic stenosis (AS)
has been traditionally interpreted independently of sex, age and race. As differences in …

Background Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) makes it possible to capture the
entire heart in a single data set that theoretically could be used to extract any two …

Aims Although impaired left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) with apical
sparing is a feature of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), its diagnostic accuracy has varied across …

Background In patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA), left ventricular ejection fraction
(LVEF) is frequently preserved, despite commonly reduced global longitudinal strain (GLS) …
