Amyloidosis is a systemic disease characterized by the accumulation of insoluble
aggregates in various organs, leading to parenchymal damage. When these amyloid fibrils …

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a unique disease entity involving an infiltrative process, typically
resulting in a restrictive cardiomyopathy with diastolic heart failure that ultimately progresses …

Objectives: Cardiac involvement is a major determinate of mortality in light chain (AL)
amyloidosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) feature tracking (FT) strain is a …

Feature-tracking cardiac magnetic resonance (FT-CMR), with the ability to quantify
myocardial deformation, has a unique role in the evaluation of subclinical myocardial …

Amyloidosis is a systemic disease, characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils in various
organs, including the heart. For the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) it is required a …

Introduction: Patients with systemic AL amyloidosis (AL) should be evaluated for cardiac
amyloidosis (CA), as prognosis is strongly related to cardiac involvement. We assessed the …

Background The purpose of the study was to investigate feasibility of infarct detection in
segmental strain derived from non-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) cine …

Background While patients with cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis are easily diagnosed with
bone scintigraphy, the detection of cardiac light chain (AL) amyloidosis is challenging …

The importance of left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) is increasingly
recognized in multiple clinical scenarios. However, in patients with poor image quality, strain …

Background Although left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) is an index of systolic
function recommended by the guidelines, poor image quality may hamper strain …
