Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in a 78-year-old man with suspected cardiac amyloidosis revealed biatrial dilatation, severe left ventricular hypertrophy, and globally impaired function.
Case Report (n=1)
CMR is useful in identifying structural abnormalities such as biatrial dilatation and severe LVH in patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis.

May support CMR for structural assessment in suspected amyloidosis; single case leaves diagnostic role open.
A 78-year-old man was referred for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to investigate symmetrical left ventricular hypertrophy identified by echocardiography. Electrocardiography showed first-degree heart block with a long duration (140 ms), low-voltage P wave, and atrial arrhythmia identified on 48 h Holter monitoring. CMR showed biatrial dilatation, severe left ventricular hypertrophy, and globally impaired …

Lyne et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Cardiac amyloidosis (n=1). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in a 78-year-old man with suspected cardiac amyloidosis revealed biatrial dilatation, severe left ventricular hypertrophy, and globally impaired function.
