Cardiac Amyloidosis in HFpEF Tunisian Patients
Sponsor: University Tunis El Manar
Summary
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) has recently been reported as a common cause of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF), with a prevalence of 6% in elderly HFpEF patients. However, the diagnosis of CA is still challenging and requires multiple costly investigations. Regardless of the type of CA, TTR or AL, early diagnosis significantly improves prognosis. In this study, the investigators aimed to determine the prevalence of CA in Tunisian HFpEF patients and to identify clinical and ultrasound criteria predictive of CA.
