Light-Chain Amyloidosis With Echocardiographic Features of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
The American Journal of Cardiology, 02/29/08
Dinwoodey DL et al. - This case series reports 4 patients with cardiac light-chain amyloidosis and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction at rest, suggesting that there may be echocardiographic overlap between these 2 disparate disease processes. In a series of consecutive patients with cardiac light-chain amyloidosis over a 2-year period, the prevalence of these echocardiographic findings was approximately 4%. Awareness of this overlap in echocardiographic presentation may permit more accurate diagnosis, particularly at early stages of amyloid disease, when more treatment options exist.
