Impact of tricuspid regurgitation on survival in patients with cardiac amyloidosis.

Aims: Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding and has been associated with poorer outcome in patients with heart failure. This study sought to investigate the prognostic value of TR in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA).

Methods And Results: Two-hundred and eighty-three patients with CA-172 (61%) wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) and 111 (39%) light-chain amyloidosis (AL)-were consecutively enrolled between December 2010 and September 2019.

Early Evaluation of Patients on Axial Flow Pump Support for Refractory Cardiogenic Shock is Associated with Left Ventricular Recovery.

We investigated prognostic factors associated with refractory left ventricle (LV) failure leading to LV assist device (LVAD), heart transplant or death in patients on an axial flow pump support for cardiogenic shock (CS). Sixty-two CS patients with an Impella CP or 5.0 implant were retrospectively enrolled, and clinical, biological, echocardiographic, coronarographic and management data were collected.
