Backgorund: Hereditary transthyretin(vATTR) cardiac amyloidosis has extremely different features according to the type of transthyretin(TTR) mutation. Data about electrocardiographic findings(ECG) in vATTR are limited and not informative of genotype correlation. Aim of this study is to analyze ECG characteristics and their correlation to...

Aims The incidence and risk factors of pacemaker (PM) implantation in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) are largely unexplored. We sought to characterize the trends in the incidence of permanent PM and to identify baseline predictors of future PM implantation in light-chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR) CA. Methods and results Consecutive...

Background: Low QRS voltages (LQRSVs) are a common electrocardiographic feature in patients with light chain amyloidosis (AL) and transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify clinical and echocardiographic correlates of LQRSV and to investigate their prognostic significance in...
