Zusammenfassung: | To compare the baseline cardiovascular characteristics of immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) and amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and to investigate patients' contemporary cardiac outcomes. Single-center analysis of clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRi) characteristics of AL and ATTR-CA patients' cohort (years 2013-2020). Included were 67 CA patients of whom 31 (46%) had AL-CA and 36 (54%) had ATTR-CA. Patients with ATTR-CA versus AL-CA were older (80 (IQR 70, 85) years versus 65 (IQR 60, 71) years, respectively, p |
