Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked disorder with α-galactosidase A deficiency. Males (>30 years) and females (>40 often present cardiac manifestations, predominantly left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The aim of this study was to evaluate electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics within FD patients identify gender related differences, additionally explore the association ECG parameters structural functional alterations on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Retrospective cross-sectional...
Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) portend a poor prognosis in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). In this meta-analysis we evaluated if left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) and LV mechanical dispersion (LVMD) are associated with VA, specifically NICM patients.A systematic review was performed to determine the predictive value of GLS LVMD for VA patients. endpoints were composite sudden cardiac death, events (including tachycardia or fibrillation), arrest appropriate implantable...
Aims: There has been a paradigm shift in diagnosis of cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) with non-invasive techniques including technetium-99m 3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (99mTc-DPD) bone scintigraphy. We evaluated structural and functional biventricular alterations by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) determined the correlation 99mTc-DPD tracer uptake ATTR. Materials Methods: ATTR patients (wild-type, hereditary or asymptomatic [TTR] variant carriers) TTE were...
