Résumé

Advanced interatrial block (aIAB), which is associated with incident atrial fibrillation and stroke, occurs in the setting of blocked interatrial conduction. Atrial amyloid deposition could be a possible substrate for reduced interatrial conduction, but the prevalence of aIAB in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is unknown. We aimed to describe the prevalence of aIAB and its relationship to left atrial function in patients with ATTR-CA in comparison to patients with HF and left ventricular hypertrophy but no CA. The presence of aIAB was investigated among 75 patients (49 patients with ATTR-CA and 26 with HF but no CA). A comprehensive echocardiographic investigation was performed in all patients, including left atrial strain and strain rate measurements. Among patients with ATTR-CA, 27% had aIAB and in patients with HF but no CA, this figure was 21%, ( Advanced interatrial block is common among patients with ATTR-CA, as well as in patients with heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy but no CA. aIAB is associated with reduced left atrial contractile function.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Advanced interatrial block (aIAB), which is associated with incident atrial fibrillation and stroke, occurs in the setting of blocked interatrial conduction. Atrial amyloid deposition could be a possible substrate for reduced interatrial conduction, but the prevalence of aIAB in patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is unknown. We aimed to describe the prevalence of aIAB and its relationship to left atrial function in patients with ATTR-CA in comparison to patients with HF and left ventricular hypertrophy but no CA.
METHODS METHODS
The presence of aIAB was investigated among 75 patients (49 patients with ATTR-CA and 26 with HF but no CA). A comprehensive echocardiographic investigation was performed in all patients, including left atrial strain and strain rate measurements.
RESULTS RESULTS
Among patients with ATTR-CA, 27% had aIAB and in patients with HF but no CA, this figure was 21%, (
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Advanced interatrial block is common among patients with ATTR-CA, as well as in patients with heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy but no CA. aIAB is associated with reduced left atrial contractile function.
