- W3100221449 abstract "Background: There is a growing interest in raising awareness about amyloidosis as an under-recognized cause of heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Recently, the prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis in the United States has increased, which may partly be attributed to initiatives from major professional societies aimed to improve patient identification and disease detection. Whether this has also impacted physicians’ knowledge about cardiac amyloidosis in the Middle East-Gulf region is unknown but critical to assess, as it would identify a need for dedicated regional educational activities. Methods: Physicians practicing in 5 Gulf countries (UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait) were invited to participate in this anonymous, online survey by receiving a unique survey link by email. We assessed awareness of cardiac amyloidosis, knowledge of disease manifestations and approach to diagnosis. Responses to the survey were recorded using a 4- or 5-point Likert scale. Results: A total of 272 physicians participated in the survey. Most participating physicians were men (82%) and have been practicing cardiology (71%) for >10 years (65%). Whereas 83% of responders considered themselves to be somewhat or extremely familiar with signs and symptoms of cardiac amyloidosis, only 63% would consider cardiac amyloidosis as a cause of HFpEF, 59% would consider it in patients with heart failure and orthostatic hypotension while only 39% consider cardiac amyloidosis in patients with low-flow, low-gradient severe aortic stenosis. Furthermore, cardiac MRI was found to be useful for diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis by 92% of responders, while echocardiography, cardiac scintigraphy with bone-seeking radiotracers and biomarkers were felt to be useful by only 81%, 60% and 31% of survey participants, respectively. Conclusion: Despite perceived familiarity with cardiac amyloidosis among a group of mid-career cardiologists, there is need to raise awareness about the heterogenous manifestations of the disease and about the respective roles of testing modalities in making this diagnosis." @default.
