TL;DR: There remains a considerable morphological overlap between the two conditions, and comprehensive studies, particularly imaging based, are warranted to offer a more evidence-based approach to elderly patients with focal septal thickening.

TL;DR: To investigate the prevalence of amyloid cardiomyopathy and the diagnostic accuracy of echocardiographic red flags of AC among consecutive adult patients undergoing transthoracic e chocardiogram for reason other than AC in 13 Italian institutions, a large number of patients are diagnosed with AC.

TL;DR: Adverse associations of lower ABI values with impaired mitochondrial activity are demonstrated even within the range of a clinically accepted definition of a normal ABI.

TL;DR: In this article, irreversible water-rock mass transfer accompanying the generation of the Bisagno valley groundwaters, starting from local rainwaters, was simulated through reaction path modeling in reaction progress mode, and the simulations assumed bulk dissolution of local stream sediments (i.e. without any constraint on their mineralogy and on the dissolution rates of primary solid phases) and precipitation of chalcedony, illite, a smectite solid mixture, a hydroxide solid mixture.

TL;DR: Nonobstructive hemodynamics is associated with more pronounced fibrosis and ischemia than labile-obstructionive and is an independent predictor of VT/VF in HC.
