Multi-modality imaging of cardiac amyloidosis: Contemporary update

Figure 2 Characteristic echocardiography findings of cardiac amyloidosis. A: Increased left ventricular wall thickness and echogenicity (asterisk) with small effusion (orange arrow); B and C: Severe (restrictive) diastolic dysfunction with mitral inflow E/A ratio > 2.0 and low septal and lateral e’ velocities by tissue Doppler; D: Bull’s eye plot showing a “cherry-top” pattern of left ventricular peak systolic longitudinal strain, consistent with apical sparing pattern.
