Résumé
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) and Fabry disease (FD) cause myocardial damage but may also affect the valvular and subvalvular apparatus. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of new echocardiographic indices including mitral valve thickness and papillary muscle (PM) hypertrophy to differentiate CA and FD. In patients with confirmed CA and FD, a detailed assessment of valvular function, mitral valve leaflet thickness and PM area as well as PM left ventricular area ratio (PM/LV-ratio) was performed in offline analyses. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were conducted to determine the diagnostic accuracy of mitral valve thickness, PM hypertrophy, and PM/LV-ratio to distinguish CA from FD. We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 129 patients (FD n = 49, CA n = 80). CA patients showed significantly more thickened mitral valve leaflets (4.1 ± 1.3 mm vs. 2.9 ± 1.1 mm, p < 0.001) and a higher PM area [4.0 (3.1-4.6) mm Our results suggest that the assessment of mitral valve thickness may be a new useful echocardiographic parameter to differentiate CA and FD, whereas papillary muscle hypertrophy and PM/LV-ratio showed a limited diagnostic performance to discriminate CA. German clinical trials registry: DRKS00027403.

Our results suggest that the assessment of mitral valve thickness may be a new useful echocardiographic parameter to differentiate CA and FD, whereas papillary muscle hypertrophy and PM/LV-ratio showed a limited diagnostic performance to discriminate CA.
