CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool could help doctors detect cardiac amyloidosis, a rare but serious heart condition, earlier using standard electrocardiograms (ECGs). Over 20,000 patients were involved, with some doctors using the AI-enhanced ECG and …

This study tested whether a special dye used in PET scans can detect abnormal protein clumps (amyloid) in the heart. About 30 people with known cardiac amyloidosis and 15 healthy volunteers received the dye and had heart imaging. The goal was to see if the scan can measure amyloi…

This study tested whether a special heart MRI scan (T1 mapping) can accurately diagnose cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. Researchers studied 112 older adults with heart failure and thickened heart walls. The goal was to see if this s…

This study tested a new imaging drug called I-124 evuzamitide to see if it can accurately diagnose cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. 204 adults with suspected cardiac amyloidosis received a PET/CT scan after the drug was injected. The…

This study tested a computer model that uses heart ultrasound, ECG, and patient information to find people with undiagnosed cardiac amyloidosis, a serious heart condition that often goes unnoticed. Researchers invited 50 high-risk adults for further testing to see if the model co…

This study looked at 110 people with cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where protein deposits build up in the heart. Researchers used a small device called an implantable loop recorder to continuously monitor heart rhythms. The goal was to learn more about when and why dangerous h…

This study looked at 87 heart failure patients aged 60 and older in Tunisia to find out how many also have cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. Researchers used heart imaging tests like echocardiograms and bone scans to detect the diseas…

This study tested a new PET imaging method to measure scarring (fibrosis) in the hearts of people with cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart. Researchers compared results from 18 participants with cardiac amyloidosis to those with other he…

This study looked at 51 adults with cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where protein buildup damages the heart. Researchers tested their sense of smell and taste to see how common these problems are. The goal is to find early warning signs that could lead to faster diagnosis and tr…
