Left ventricular strain does not differentiate amyloidogenic profiles in at-risk individuals with<i>TTR</i>Val142Ile
2021-01-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Objectives</h4> To identify echocardiographic signatures featuring left ventricular longitudinal strain (LS) associated with genetic risk for cardiac amyloidosis (CA) due to the TTR Val142Ile (V142I) variant in African American (AA) and Hispanic/Latinx (H/L) individuals. <h4>Background</h4> Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR) can cause CA in ∼60-70% of older V142I carriers, but amyloid deposition prog...
