Myocardial triglycerides in cardiac amyloidosis assessed by proton cardiovascular magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Abstract Background Cardiac involvement of amyloidosis leads to left-ventricular (LV) wall thickening with progressive heart failure requiring rehospitalization. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a valuable tool to non-invasively assess myocardial thickening as well as structural changes. P...
