Associations of Electrocardiographic Parameters with Left Ventricular Longitudinal Strain and Prognosis in Cardiac Light Chain Amyloidosis.

LV longitudinal function showed a decreasing trend as scores increased, while log NT-proBNP showed an increasing trend as scored decreased.

Patients with abnormal QRS axis showed a trend of worse overall survival rates; however, the p value was not significant (p = 0.055, Fig. 1B ).

We report the following principle findings in patients with cardiac AL amyloidosis: (1) Prolonged QTc (≥483 msec) and abnormal QRS axis showed significant incremental prognostic values in addition to revised Mayo stage; (2) ECG scores which were assigned by presence of prolonged QTc (≥483 msec) and abnormal QRS axis, showed good associations with the mean absolute values of LV GLS and regional LS; and (3) mean values of Log NT-proBNP differed significantly according to ECG score and showed an increasing trend as ECG score increased.
