AbstractOBJECTIVESDiffuse cardiac amyloidosis is a significant diagnosis with a poor prognosis. Isolated atrial amyloidosis (IAA) is the most common form of cardiac amyloidosis caused by accumulation of alpha-atrial natriuretic peptide. IAA has been associated with dysrhythmia, but otherwise remains a poorly characterized condition. The impact of incidental IAA on postoperative outcome following cardiac surgery has not previously been reported. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of isolated atrial amyloid on patient outcomes following cardiac surgery.methodsA retrospective analysis was performed of all patients having excision of the left atrial appendage during cardiac surgery at our centre over a 5-year period. Patients with histological evidence of IAA were compared to patients without this diagnosis. IAA was diagnosed by immunohistochemistry for atrial natriuretic peptide.RESULTSA total of 167 patients underwent left atrial appendage excision and of these 26 (15.6%) were found to have IAA. Preoperative characteristics were similar between the 2 groups. A significantly greater proportion of patients with IAA experienced dysrhythmia requiring implantation of a permanent pacemaker (23.1% vs 7.8%, P = 0.03). There was also a significantly elevated incidence of perioperative death in the IAA group (11.5% vs 1.4%, P = 0.03) and inferior 1-year survival (84.6% vs 96.5%, P = 0.02).CONCLUSIONSThe presence of IAA may be associated with inferior outcomes following cardiac surgery, with increased morbidity in the early postoperative period and inferior long-term survival. Knowledge of the diagnosis preoperatively may facilitate management of patients.
