Abstract
Purpose. The aim of this work is to show the capabilities of late gadolinium enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of a rare disease such as cardiac amyloidosis.
Materials and methods. Demonstration of clinical cases detecting cardiac amyloidosis using MRI.
Results. Contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI revealed patterns characteristic of cardiac amyloidosis.
Conclusion. Cardiac MRI with late gadloinium enhancement is the method of choice in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis.
Key words: amyloidosis, heart, MRI, late gadloinium enhancement.
