Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how echocardiography can help identify cardiac amyloidosis (CA) in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) who are experiencing heart failure (HF) decompensation.
- Out of 85 patients, 49 were diagnosed with CA, with specific echocardiographic measurements showing significant differences between those with CA and those without.
- Key features associated with CA included increased interventricular septum thickness, reduced left ventricular cavity size, and altered right ventricular function, emphasizing the role of echocardiography in diagnosing this condition.
