Excerpt

Involvement of the heart drives prognosis in Systemic AL Amyloidosis, predicting outcome and influencing therapeutic options. Current methods of cardiac assessment do not allow formal quantification of the amyloid load. We used Equilibrium Contrast Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (EQ-CMR) to measure the interstitial compartment of the heart by measuring the myocardial contrast volume of distribution, VDm. …
