Cardiac Amyloidosis Through the Lens of Cardiac MRI by Diego Artemio Valadez-Villegas, MD; et al. (Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez, Ciudad de México). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) plays a central role in evaluation of heart failure by clarifying both etiology and prognosis. One of its most important applications is the assessment of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), a progressive and underdiagnosed disease caused by the accumulation of amyloid fibrils in the extracellular space of the myocardium, altering contractility, impairing relaxation, and causing restrictive physiology associated with high morbidity and mortality. CA is most commonly due to either light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, derived from clonal plasma cell dyscrasia and associated with poor outcomes, or transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis, related to misfolded transthyretin protein synthesized in the liver. Until recently, diagnosis relied on biopsy, but this approach is invasive, less sensitive in ATTR, and limited in early disease. CMR has therefore emerged as a noninvasive, reproducible, whole-heart technique capable of characterizing myocardial composition and distinguishing CA from other cardiomyopathies.
