Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is linked to cardiac amyloidosis (CA), which can lead to diastolic dysfunction and atrial damage.
- A study of 27 patients found that those with AF had worse diastolic function (higher E/e' values) and more severe atrial lesions compared to patients with sinus rhythm (SR).
- The findings suggest that AF might worsen heart conditions in CA patients, highlighting the need for further investigation into this association.
A 74-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital for catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed basal interventricular septal hypertrophy without apical sparing. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed late gadolinium enhancement in the hypertrophic lesions.
