Prospective multicenter Italian survey consisting of two phases: observational (echocardiographic screening for amyloid cardiomyopathy among patients ≥ 55 years undergoing clinically-indicated echocardiography) and interventional (specific clinical and instrumental work-up to detect the prevalence of amyloid cardiomyopathy among amyloid cardiomyopathy-suggestive echocardiograms).
This study will investigate the prevalence of echocardiographic red-flags of amyloid cardiomyopathy (AC) in patients undergoing clinically-indicated echocardiography (observational phase) and the prevalence of AC among AC-suggestive echocardiograms (interventional phase).
