Key result
Maximal thickness of the midventricular left ventricular wall was the only independent predictor of survival in patients with AL amyloidosis, but not in those with TTR amyloidosis.

May support AL amyloidosis risk stratification; leaves open differential role in TTR and needs prospective validation.
Siepen et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Cardiac amyloidosis (n=130). Midventricular left ventricular wall thickness was evaluated on Survival. Maximal thickness of the midventricular left ventricular wall was the only independent predictor of survival in patients with AL amyloidosis, but not in those with TTR amyloidosis.
