Figure 3. Multiparameter tissue characterization by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in amyloid patients. CMR with cines, native T1 mapping, T2 mapping, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and extracellular volume (ECV) mapping in a normal subject (top row) and two patients with cardiac amyloidosis (middle and bottom rows) are shown. In the top row, the normal subject has no LGE and normal native T1, T2, and ECV. In the middle row, the patient with cardiac AL amyloidosis has high native T1, mildly increased T2, diffuse sub-endocardial LGE, and increased ECV values. In the bottom row, the patient with cardiac ATTR amyloidosis has high native T1, normal T2, transmural LGE, and very high ECV values.
