Ruberg, MD 2 5/11/2014 Hypertrophic Myopathy • 68 year old male • Hypertension • DM • Renal impairment • COPD • Atrial fibrillation • NYHA class IV • Lower limb edema KFSHRC Hypertrophic Myopathy MV Septum MV-DT = 200 msec IVRT = 105 msec PV KFSHRC TDI- Septum 3 5/11/2014 Deformation Imaging Longitudinal Strain Amyloidosis • Multisystem disease • Extracellular deposition of proteinaceous material: amyloid fibers • Due to misfolding of a precursor protein • Presence and severity of cardiac involvement depends on the precursor protein: – Light chain Ig – Transthyretin – Serum Amyloid A 4 5/11/2014 Amyloidosis • The most common infiltrative heart disease • Restrictive cardiomyopathy • Stiff ventricles: diastolic impairment precedes systolic dysfunction • “Amyloidosis does not discriminate”: Amyloid fibers deposit everywhere in the heart – Myocardium, endocardium, pericardium – Interatrial septum – Conduction system – Coronary arteries • Endomyocardial biopsy almost always positive Cardiac Amyloidosis 5 5/11/2014 Cardiac Amyloidosis Inferior vena cava Mitral valve Deformation Imaging Longitudinal Strain Septum Lateral wall Destruction of the longitudinal function of the left ventricle 6 5/11/2014 Deformation Imaging Longitudinal Strain Longitudinal motion Lateral wall ~ 5 mm Cardiac MRI “Not a Luxury in suspected infiltrative cardiomyopathies but a Need” Guadolinium RV LV RV LV Circumferential enhancement Subendocardial Both ventricles 7 5/11/2014 Cardiac Amyloidosis • Classical features only present in late stages of disease: already poor prognosis • Echo cannot distinguish various types of amyloidosis: AL vs. TTR • Increased LV wall thickness + history of hypertension does not necessarily imply hypertensive heart disease • Increased LV wall thickness + low ECG voltage: infiltrative myocardial disease till proven otherwise • Do not expect granular or sparkling appearance of myocardium in all patients • Strain imaging should be done in all patients with LVH Cardiac Amyloidosis Too late for diagnosis MV IVC Optimal timing 8 5/11/2014 Hypertrophic Myopathy How to pursue a diagnosis? 9 5/11/2014 Longitudinal Strain Fadel, BM.
