Prognostic and added value of two-dimensional global longitudinal strain for prediction of survival in patients with light chain amyloidosis undergoing autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography Nov 03, 2017
Pun SC, et al. - Analysts assess the prognostic implication of baseline global longitudinal strain (GLS) and the added value of GLS beyond circulating cardiac biomarkers for risk stratification in patients with light-chain (AL) amyloidosis undergoing hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The current study showed that the GLS is a strong predictor of survival in patients with AL amyloidosis undergoing HCT, potentially providing incremental value over serum cardiac biomarkers for risk stratification. GLS ought to be considered as a standard parameter along with serum cardiac biomarkers when assessing eligibility for HCT or other investigational therapies.
