Excerpt

Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a complex and often underdiagnosed pathological condition, which poses significant challenges in both its detection and management. As the efficacy of the currently approved therapy decreases over time and is lowest in the advanced stages of the disease, a prompt diagnosis is mandatory to yield favourable outcome [1]. In this context, there is the need for reliable imaging modalities able to provide with an early and accurate diagnosis, along with useful prognostic information [2]. …
