I was so pleased to attend and present a clinical vignette as a poster in ACC.22: at Washington, DC. I can't thank Dr. Kaki enough for his support and supervision in writing the case.

@ZainAzzo @abraham_bishoy Thank you, Dr. Azzo, for the lovely post and for being a great mentor. I was thrilled to present the study at the #HFSA2021 conference. Thanks to my co-fellows for their effort to publish the abstract.

Nice job @KSheikhly on presenting our work on apical sparing in patients with hypertensive emergency. Almost a third of patients who presented with hypertensive emergency, and had strain imaging performed, had apical sparing #HFSA2021

@ZainAzzo We need to do study how Apple convinced all doctors to buy an iPhone!!

@MasriAhmadMD @iamritu @onco_cardiology @jelevenson @AmrFBarakat @MattH_MD @purviparwani @HeitnerStephen @strain_rate @BrettSperryMD We looked at 120 patients presented with HTN emergency and had echo with strain, 25% of them had apical sparing with apical to other segments ratio of > 1. Although most of them didn’t have further testing, I highly doubt they all have Amyloidosis.

Thoughts on this #strain pattern? h/o HTN and LVH. Some images below. Just HTN? no amyloid red flags. LVH on EKG. no symptoms. Would you do more workup just for the strain pattern?
