IntroductionThis study examined the role of echocardiographic and cardiac histomorphology parameters in predicting mortality in patients with cardiac AL amyloidosis.MethodsPatients with endomyocardial biopsy-proven cardiac AL amyloidosis treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center between 6/2011 and 6/2020 were identified. Stored echocardiographic images and endomyocardial biopsy samples were processed for myocardial strain analysis and a detailed histomorphology characterization.ResultsOf 43 patients; 44% were women and 63% white. Median age was 65 years; 51% underwent stem cell transplantation (SCT). Thirty patients (70%) died during follow up (median follow up: 4.1 years). Lower LA strain ( |
