This is a prospective case control study to determine the feasibility and utility of myocardial stiffness assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in patients with cardiac amyloidosis.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
20
Patients will undergo a cardiac MRI with the addition of continuous free-breathing and breath-held MRE sequences.

RECRUITINGPercentage of subjects able to complete a Magnetic Resonance Elastography exam
Magnetic Resonance Elastography exam completion will be determined by signal to noise (SNR) ratio
Time frame: Baseline
Mean Myocardial Stiffness
Mean Myocardial stiffness will be measured by magnetic resonance elastography during early systole, end systole, early diastole and end diastole (kPa).
Time frame: Baseline
