It includes ten features: morphofunctional characteristics (M), organ damage (O), risk of cardiac death (R), age of clinical presentation, age of disease-specific therapy initiation (A), localization of the infiltrative process (inside or outside the cell, L), information about the functional class heart failure and stage of infiltrative heart disease (S), treatment (T), abnormal rhythm or conduction (A), genetic or familial nature of inheritance (G), etiology of the process (E).

Competitive flow within the bypasses across the supra-aortic arteries has not previously been identified. This research identified haemodynamics due to prophylactic inclusion of bypasses from the brachiocephalic artery (BCA) to the left common carotid artery (LCCA), and from the LCCA to left subclavian artery (LSA). Four model configurations investigated the risk of competitive flow and the necessity of intentionally blocking the proximal LSA and/or LCCA. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to assess haemodynamics in each model configuration. We found potential for competitive flow in the BCA-LCCA bypass when the LSA was blocked, in the LSA-LCCA bypass, when the LCCA alone or LCCA and LSA were blocked. Flow stagnated at the start of systole within the RCCA-LCCA bypass, along with notable recirculation zones and reciprocating flow occurring throughout systolic flow. Flow also stagnated in the LCCA-LSA bypass when the LCCA was blocked. There was a large recirculation in the LCCA-LSA bypass when both the LCCA and LSA were blocked.
