Brief History Shortness of breath for 10 months – Exertional dyspnea – Accompanied with chest pain and palpitation sometimes – Denied paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
Bilateral lower leg pitting edema developed later At Landseed Hospital – Dx as congestive heart failure – Hospitalized for 4 times – Improved symptoms after discharge
Brief History Progressive dyspnea two days before hospitalization at Landseed hospital Orthopnea Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea Chest tightness – Persistent – Mid-chest – No radiation
Decreased urine output
Brief History Dry cough Poor appetite, general weakness in recent two weeks Abdominal distension in one month Body weight loss of 9kg (50kg41kg) in 6 months Right eyelid ecchymosis Denied fever, sputum, increased water intake
Treatment and Course in Landseed Hospital Hospitalized at Landseed hospital on 2008/10/5 Water restriction and diuretic Nitrates ACEI Aspirin Symptoms improved mildly
Echocardiography (10/8)
D-dimer 2393.24 ng/ml (<500) LA mass, nonnon-oscillating LV concentric hypertrophy, normal LV size, global LV hypokinesia Dilated LA, RA, RV LVEF 46% Moderate amount of pericardial effusion without tamponade sign Moderate to severe TR Increased E/A ratio (2.17)

AL Amyloidosis Associated with a plasma cell dyscrasia Estimated 2000 to 2500 new cases annually in the United States The presence of cardiac amyloidosis is frequently the worst prognostic factor Once congestive heart failure occurs, the median survival is 6 months in untreated patients N Engl J Med 2003;349:583-96. Circulation 2005;112;2047-2060
Cardiac Manifestation Predominance of right heart failure Low BP Chest discomfort a small but persistent elevation in serum troponin may be present Low voltage on the ECG Atrial arrhythmias associated with a very high incidence of thromboembolism Circulation 2005;112;2047-2060 J Am Coll Cardiol 2007;50:2101–10

Management Intravenous melphalan and HSCT with a complete hematologic response in 40% of patients Advanced heart disease: risk of peritreatment mortality as high as 30% Heart transplant?

Heart Transplant? Donor shortage Recurrence in graft Unfavorable survival result compared to other group Should be offered as last resort
J Heart Lung Transplant 2005;24:1763-5
Heart Transplant? Sequential heart and autologous stem cell transplantation for systemic AL amyloidosis – Heart transplantation followed by SCT was performed in 5 patients with AL amyloidosis and predominant cardiomyopathy. – 3 of the 5 did not have evidence of cardiac or extracardiac amyloid accumulation Blood 2006 107: 1227-1229
Take Home Message Decreased ratio of voltage to left ventricular mass should raise the suspicion of cardiac amyloidosis AL amyloidosis with cardiac involvement implicates poor prognosis Sequential heart and HSCT may be considered in selected patient with AL amyloidosis
