  1. 1. Cardiac involvement in familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy

    Författare :Peter Eriksson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amyloidosis; arrhythmias; cardiac pacing; cardiac radionuclide; imaging; echocardiography; electrocardiography; pathology;

    Sammanfattning : Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (FAP) is a neuropathic form of heredofamilial systemic amyloidosis. Clusters of patients have been reported predominantly from Portugal, Japan and Sweden. The present study examines the involvement of the heart in individuals with the Swedish variety of FAP. LÄS MER

  3. 2. AL amyloidosis : Study of epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment with emphasis on heart involvement

    Författare :Sara Rosengren; Kristina Carlson; Jens Sörensen; Stefan Schönland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunoglobulin light chain AL amyloidosis; high-dose melphalan; cardiac amyloidosis; positron emission tomography PET ; incidence; population-based; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : AL (immunoglobulin light chain) amyloidosis is often associated with delayed diagnosis and thereby high early mortality that is not overcome by contemporary treatment. There is a need for diagnostic methods promoting earlier diagnosis, especially in patients with cardiac involvement. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The heart in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis : clinical studies on the impact of amyloid fibril composition

    Sammanfattning : Background Hereditary transthyretin amyloid (ATTRm) amyloidosis is a systemic disease mainly affecting the peripheral nervous system and the heart. The disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with a varying penetrance. It is caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. Today more than 100 disease causing mutations are known.

  7. 5. Cardiac function in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis : an echocardiographic study

    Sammanfattning : Background: Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a lethal disease in which misfolded transthyretin (TTR) proteins accumulate as insoluble aggregates in tissues throughout the body. A common mutation is the exchange of valine to methionine at place 30 (TTR V30M), a form endemically found in the northern parts of Sweden. LÄS MER
