Background Differentiation of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) from other causes of concentric left ventricular hypertrophy remains a clinical challenge, especially in patients with preserved ejection fraction at the early disease stages.Methods and Results Consecutive hypertrophic patients with CA, isolated arterial hypertension, Fabry disease, and Friedreich ataxia (n=25 per group) were investigated; 25 healthy volunteers served as a control group. Standard echocardiography was performed, and segmental longitudinal peak systolic strain (LSsys) in the septum was assessed by 2-dimensional speckle tracking imaging. Indices of left ventricular hypertrophy and ejection fraction were similar among all patient groups. Deceleration time of early filling was significantly lower in patients with CA (14746 milliseconds) compared with those with isolated arterial hypertension, Fabry disease, or control subjects (all P2.1 differentiated CA from other causes of left ventricular hypertrophy (sensitivity, 88%; specificity, 85%; positive predictive value, 67%; negative predictive value, 96%). The prevalence of septal apical to basal LSsys ratio >2.1 plus deceleration time of early filling 2.1), combined with a shortened diastolic deceleration time of early filling (deceleration time of early filling
