Official title
Diagnostic Performance of Right Ventricular Sensing Amplitude and Other Electrophysiological,Echographic, and Histological Parameters in Cardiac Amyloidosis Among Patients With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: a Multicenter Prospective Study
Overview
This multicenter prospective study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of right ventricular sensing amplitude measured during cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation (pacemaker or defibrillator) to identify cardiac amyloidosis in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and conduction abnormalities. Patients aged 65 years or older referred for CIED implantation will be included. During the procedure, electrophysiological parameters will be recorded. Additional assessments will be performed, including cardiac scintigraphy, biological analyses, and subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsy. The results of these investigations will be used to confirm or rule out cardiac amyloidosis. Diagnostic performance will be assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Cardiac amyloidosis screening during CIED implantation
Procedure of CIED implantation will not be modified by inclusion in the study. However, several exams will be performed to confirm or ruled out the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis: During the procedure: Subcutaneous adipose tissue sampling Collection of a subcutaneous adipose tissue sample during device implantation for histological analysis to detect amyloid deposits. Blood sampling for serum free light chain assay, serum and urine electrophoresis with immunofixation (baseline visit) Diagno
