Distinguishing Cardiac Amyloidosis and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy by Thickness and Myocardial Deformation of the Right Ventricle

Figure 2

Bar graph showing the areas under the curve (AUCs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as a measure of the diagnostic performance of various right ventricular (RV) parameters for detecting cardiac amyloidosis. The respective cutoff values are represented in Table 4. The cross-table shows the values of the pairwise comparisons of the AUC values. Right ventricular thickness (RVT) combined with RV global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS) showed a significantly larger AUC than the other RV parameters (all  < 0.05).
