(FIT)-Module 4 Workshop 7: Electrocradiogrpahic and Electrophysiological Correlations, Atrial Fibrillation, Clinical Scenarios and Syndromes-Gerstenfeld Case 5 Question

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The patient is a 79-year-old male with a history of hypertension, HFPF, multiple atrial arrhythmias, and recurrent atypical atrial flutter despite amiodarone treatment. He has undergone various ablations, and his latest echo shows normal left ventricular (LV) function but concentric LV hypertrophy with a septal thickness of 13 mm. The question asks for the most likely underlying diagnosis among options: senile hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac amyloidosis, cardiac sarcoidosis, lamin A-C cardiomyopathy, or Fabry disease. Given the age and presentation, cardiac amyloidosis might be the most probable diagnosis.
