摘要: In six patients with clinically significant amyloid infiltrative cardiomyopathy, echocardiographic right ventricular anterior wall thickness was significantly increased (mean 7.5 +/- 2.3 mm; range 5 to 10 mm). This finding in conjunction the previously described abnormalities of left ventricle (symmetric increase thickness, diffuse hypokinesia, and small normal diastolic dimension) is consistent findings a myocardial process should minimize confusion constrictive pericarditis.
