Article Synopsis
- Cardiac involvement in patients with AL amyloidosis is assessed using longitudinal strain percentage (LS%), which worsens with more advanced cardiac stages.
- In a study of 915 newly diagnosed AL patients, 68.6% showed cardiac involvement, with LS% significantly correlating to overall survival rates; higher strain impairments indicated shorter survival.
- Improvements in LS% after 12 months in patients achieving complete response correlated with longer survival, highlighting LS% as a key functional marker for prognosis and treatment response in cardiac AL amyloidosis.
