La amiloidosis cardíaca: el diagnóstico y el tratamiento en evolución: una declaración científica de la Asociación
Circulation
|June 2, 2020
Resumen
El diagnóstico precoz de la cardiomiopatía amiloide transtiretina (ATTR-CM) es crucial para el tratamiento eficaz. Los avances en imágenes y nuevas terapias están transformando el manejo de esta miocardiopatía restrictiva.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Cardiología
- Investigación de la cardiomiopatía
- Estudios de la amiloidosis
Sus antecedentes:
- La cardiomiopatía amiloide transtiretina (ATTR-CM) es una cardiomiopatía restrictiva.
- Es causada por la deposición extracelular de transtiretina en el miocardio.
- ATTR-CM se reconoce cada vez más en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Orientar la práctica clínica para el diagnóstico y el manejo de ATTR-CM.
- Para resaltar los avances en las técnicas de diagnóstico no invasivo.
- Discutir las estrategias terapéuticas actuales y futuras para ATTR-CM.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de los avances recientes en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de ATTR-CM.
- Análisis de las técnicas de diagnóstico por imágenes no invasivas.
- Evaluación de las terapias aprobadas y la investigación en curso.
Principales resultados:
- La imagen no invasiva permite un diagnóstico preciso de ATTR-CM, reduciendo la necesidad de biopsias.
- ATTR-CM es potencialmente subdiagnosticado en poblaciones con insuficiencia cardíaca.
- Las terapias aprobadas ofrecen nuevas vías de tratamiento para ATTR-CM.
Conclusiones:
- La identificación temprana de ATTR-CM es esencial para obtener resultados terapéuticos óptimos.
- Las herramientas de diagnóstico no invasivas son clave para una intervención oportuna.
- Se necesita una investigación continua para abordar las necesidades no cubiertas en la gestión de ATTR-CM.

Cardiomyopathy I: Introduction and Classification
828
Cardiomyopathy, or CMP, is a group of diseases affecting the myocardial structure, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively. This condition can lead to arrhythmias, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death.Cardiomyopathies are classified into primary and secondary categories:Primary Cardiomyopathy refers to conditions involving only the heart muscle that are often idiopathic (of unknown cause) or genetic. They primarily affect the myocardium without the involvement of other systemic...

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
810
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...

Cardiomyopathy IV: Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
957
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare heart muscle disease characterized by impaired ventricular filling due to stiffened ventricular walls, leading to significant diastolic dysfunction.EtiologyRestrictive cardiomyopathy can arise from both inherited and acquired diseases, many of which are systemic. It is categorized into four main types: infiltrative, storage, non-infiltrative, and endomyocardial diseases.Infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis, lead to RCM by depositing amyloid...

Cardiomyopathy V: Interprofessional Care
761
Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...

Cardiomyopathy VI: Nursing Management
485
Assessment: Nursing management of patients with cardiomyopathy begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's history, including a family history of cardiomyopathy or sudden cardiac death, personal history of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and any alcohol consumption or drug use.During the physical examination, assess vital signs, look for signs of heart failure (such as edema, jugular venous distention, and cyanosis), auscultate for abnormal heart sounds (like murmurs and gallops),...

Atherosclerosis III: Management
747
Management of atherosclerosis involves an integrated strategy encompassing pharmacological treatment, surgical interventions, lifestyle changes, and nutrition therapy to address the multifactorial nature of the disease.Pharmacological TherapyA cornerstone of atherosclerosis management is the use of pharmacological agents. Statins, such as atorvastatin, are pivotal in inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes an initial step in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This reduction in...
