ABSTRACT
The frequency of cardiac amyloidosis potentially present in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to determine the frequency and clinical characteristics of cardiac amyloidosis latent in AF by performing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients scheduled for AF ablation. We retrospectively analyzed 193 consecutive patients who underwent CA and cardiac MRI for atrial fibrillation. The primary endpoint of the study was the frequency of histologically confirmed cardiac amyloidosis or suspected cardiac amyloidosis [positive imaging findings on cardiac MRI strongly suspecting cardiac amyloidosis (diffuse subendocardial late gadolinium enhancement or MRI-derived extracellular volume of > 0.40)]. Among the 193 patients, 8 were confirmed or suspected cases of cardiac amyloidosis, representing a frequency of 4% (8/193 patients). Multivariate analysis identified interventricular septal thickness at end-diastole (LVSd) as an independent and significant predictor of cardiac amyloidosis (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.12-2.87, p = 0.020).The optimal cut-off value for IVSd was determined to be > 12.9 mm based on the Youden index. At this cut-off, the sensitivity was 75.0% (95% CI 34.9-96.8%) and the specificity was 92.3% (95% CI 87.4-95.7%), allowing for the identification of patients with definite or suspected cardiac amyloidosis. The frequency of confirmed and suspected cases of cardiac amyloidosis among patients with an IVSd > 12.9 mm was 30% (6/20 patients). In addition, prevalence of biopsy-proven cardiac amyloidosis was 10% (2/20). The prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis in atrial fibrillation patients scheduled for ablation with cardiac hypertrophy is not negligible.
