Characterizing cardiac involvement in amyloidosis using cardiovascular magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging

Abstract Background In-vivo cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) allows imaging of alterations of cardiac fiber architecture in diseased hearts. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) causes myocardial infiltration of misfolded proteins with unknown consequences for myocardial mi...
