Abstract
Even when compared to diastolic cDMI measurements, standard PW-TDI of the mitral annulus was the most accurate diastolic measure to detect early left ventricular dysfunction in patients with AL amyloidosis. However, no diastolic measure approached the accuracy of longitudinal systolic cDMI measurements in identifying ventricular dysfunction in AL patients with normal standard 2D and Doppler examinations, compared to controls.
