Popis: Cardiac amyloidosis is associated with very high morbidity and mortality. Only if treated early, cardiac amyloidosis responds well to therapy, and early recognition with a full differential diagnostic workup including multimodality imaging is therefore critical at first presentation. Closely meshed clinical monitoring and imaging are indispensable to ensure optimal individualized treatment. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.)
