Novel echocardiographic and magnetic resonance methods in diagnostics of cardiac amyloidosis.
 Fikrle, Michal ; Paleček, Tomáš (advisor) ; Hutyra, Martin (referee) ; Krejčí, Jan (referee)
Amyloidosis is a term used for a whole group of diseases caused by deposition of a substance called amyloid into different tissues. Amyloid may be produced by a range of pathologic processes. Heart affliction is typical for only several types of amyloidoses. Heart involvement is then the patient`s prognosis major limiting factor. Diagnosis of heart amyloidosis is difficult especially for nonspecific symptoms and nonspecific findings obtained during common diagnostic procedures. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate usefulness of novel diagnostic methods, namely cardiac magnetic resonance with gadolinium enhancement and a simplified echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular longitudinal strain, in diagnosing amyloid cardiomyopathy. In our first study we examined 22 patients with light chain amyloidosis by echocardiography and also with cardiac magnetic resonance with late gadolinium enhancement. We compared morphologic and functional parameters acquired by magnetic resonance examination, which is considered a gold standard for morphologic and functional measurements, with values obtained by echocardiographic measurement. Afterwards we evaluated the presence and eventually pattern of late gadolinium enhancement during cardiac magnetic resonance exam. From acquired data we conclude that the...
