What is amyloidosis?
A protein misfolding disorder in which one of thirty-five distinct proteins pathologically misfolds and aggregates extracellularly as insoluble amyloid fibrils, ultimately leading to organ dysfunction.

You can see that other diseases like Alzheimer’s involve amyloid deposition. We will focus on two types of amyloidosis that affect the heart and nervous system: immunoglobulin light chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis.

What does this TEE with CW Doppler across mitral valve show? What are the most likely causes? #EchoHemodynamics
1) Diastolic MR. The mechanism is due to a reversal in the AV gradient during diastole, ie a positive ventricular-to-atrial pressure gradient occurring during diastole. It typically occurs in mid to late diastole. Color m-mode is helpful #FIT #ACCFIT #FITSurvivalGuide

Usually, it all starts with an abnormal finding in an echo suggestive of intracavitary mass. How can we tell one from the other? It can be confusing.
For artifacts, I did a Tweetorial already that describes the most common ones. Basic understanding of ultrasound physics is needed to be able to explain them: twitter.com/i/moments/1030…

#FITSurvivalGuide #tweetorial Diagnosis of Heart failure: HF is a complex clinical syndrome related to structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or contraction. HF can be classified into HFrEF and HFpEF based on assessment of LVEF.
Typical HF symptoms are dyspnea, fatigue, edema, orthopnea, PND. NYHA system used to indicate symptom severity. Essential to inquire about onset, duration & progression of symptoms, risk factors for HF (MI, HTN, DM), FH of HF, drug or alcohol abuse, radiation/chemotherapy.
HF is a largely clinical diagnosis. Physical exam must include careful assessment of vital signs, signs of volume overload (JVD, edema, S3, rales on lung exam) and assessment of perfusion (cyanosis, cool extremities).

[3/10] 2⃣ Etiologies = Structural (1º) vs. Functional (FTR)
Keep chart ⬇️ DDx in mind when reading #EchoFirst
~80% of significant TR = FTR/2º to TA dilatation + leaflet tethering ⬅️ RV remodeling ⬅️ volume and/or pressure overload
Structural (1º) cause = less common

2⃣/ First Step: Primary Vs Secondary MR? 🧐
Secondary MR --> further to be classified as ischemic or non ischemic in origin.
Identify MR Etiology by Carpentier Functional Classification

3⃣/ Primary MR:
Asymptomatic patients w/ severe primary MR preserved LVEF(>60%, LV end-sys dimension <40 mm [stage C1]) ▶️ mitral valve surgery is reasonable in the setting of serial imaging studies that reveal a progressive increase in LV size or decrease in LVEF (Class IIa)
