Core Tip |
Wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) continues to be an underdiagnosed condition. Although rare in patients under 60 years of age, physicians should include the condition in their differential as early diagnosis and early management can impact patient outcomes. Physicians should be aware of the findings on non-invasive testing that supports ATTRwt. Classically on echocardiogram, cardiac amyloidosis can present as thickened ventricular walls, small lehigh valley chamber, biatrial enlargement, apical sparing on longitudinal strain and signs of elevated filling pressures and restrictive diastolic physiology (increased E/A ratio, E/e’ and reduced mitral annular tissue velocities). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging classically shows late gadolinium enhancement. A technetium pyrophosphate study shows an increased heart-to-contralateral ratio and increased Perugini visual grade. |
