Article Synopsis
- Right ventricular free-wall strain is a potential key diagnostic indicator in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA), which affects all parts of the heart.
- In a study involving 108 ATTR-CA patients and 106 controls, this strain measurement was shown to be independently linked to the diagnosis of ATTR-CA when combined with other echocardiographic parameters.
- Furthermore, a right ventricular free-wall strain of -16% or less was associated with a threefold increased risk of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, highlighting its importance for risk assessment in these patients.
