Cardiac amyloidosis is caused by the extracellular deposition of amyloid fibrils in the heart,
involving not only the myocardium but also any cardiovascular structure. Indeed, this …

In this EACVI clinical scientific update, we will explore the current use of multi-modality
imaging in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and follow-up of patients with aortic stenosis, with …

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy consists in an increased LV wall thickness. LV hypertrophy
can be either secondary, in response to pressure or volume overload, or primary, ie not …

The association between aortic stenosis (AS) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is more frequent
than expected. Albeit rare, CA, particularly the transthyretin (ATTR) form, is commonly found …

Calcific aortic stenosis can be considered a model for geriatric cardiovascular conditions
due to a confluence of factors. The remarkable technological development of transcatheter …

Abstract Purpose of the Review In this narrative review, we focus on the latest updates on
CA–AS diagnosis, the implementation of CMR, and CT in the diagnostic algorithm and their …

Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease with a prevalence
rate of more than 4% in 75-year-old people or older. Similarly, cardiac amyloidosis (CA) …

Background Concomitant cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and aortic stenosis (AS) may be
mistaken for isolated AS, potentially impacting the treatment strategy and patient's …

Aesop's fable of the wolf in sheep's clothing encourages us to look beneath the exterior
appearance of a situation and evaluate the truth that lies beneath. This concept should be …

Background: The presence of a relative apical sparing (RAS) echocardiographic strain
pattern raises a suspicion of underlying cardiac amyloidosis (CA). However, it is also …
