87-year-old woman with a history of localized pulmonary amyloidosis and kappa MGUS last
Echocardiogram:
Poor GLS contours
Rhythm is AF
Mildly increased wall thickness, hyperdynamic LVEF. Aortic sclerosis without stenosis, mitral annular calcification.
IVC top normal with blunted variation
Mildly Elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures
Complete spectral Doppler velocity analysis and color Doppler were
performed.

Conclusions:
Rhythm is atrial fibrillation. Technically difficult study. Small LV cavity
size with mildly increased LV wall thickness, and normal global LV systolic
function. Estimated LVEF is 70%. No obvious regional LV wall motion
abnormalities. Global longitudinal strain is reduced at -12%. Normal RV size
and global RV systolic function. Severely dilated LA (LA volume indexed to
BSA is 78 mL/m^2). Normal RA size. Indeterminate diastolic function. Aortic
annular calcification is visualized. Trileaflet aortic valve with moderate
calcification with no significant AS or AR. Severe posterior mitral annular
calcification with calcified mitral leaflets. Mean gradient is 2 mm Hg at a
heart rate of 57 bpm. Mild MR. Mild to moderate TR. Normal IVC size with
blunted respirophasic variation suggestive of RA pressure of 8 mmHg.
Estimated PA systolic pressure is 40 mm Hg. No pericardial effusion.
two small monoclonal peaks on IEF: a lambda LC and kappa LC. No specific therapy recommended then but yearly chest CT suggested – ?early MGUS.
