About this trial
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.

Treatments tested in this trial
Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE)
Diagnostic testPatients will undergo a cardiac MRI with the addition of continuous free-breathing and breath-held MRE sequences.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage of subjects able to complete a Magnetic Resonance Elastography exam
Magnetic Resonance Elastography exam completion will be determined by signal to noise (SNR) ratio
Mean Myocardial Stiffness
Mean Myocardial stiffness will be measured by magnetic resonance elastography during early systole, end systole, early diastole and end diastole (kPa).
