Late gadolinium enhancement imaging by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the most reliable method for identifying cardiac involvement in patients with amyloidosis, and myocardial T1 mapping is a novel CMR technique that enables the noninvasive detection and quantification of myocardial amyloid burden. Although, base-to-apex gradient patterns of impairment in patients with cardiac amyloidosis have been reported on myocardial strain analysis using echocardiography, we could not find any other reports to demonstrate that myocardial T1 mapping on CMR can clearly identify a base-to-apex gradient pattern of cardiac impairment in a patient with cardiac amyloidosis. Keywords: Cardiac amyloidosis, Myocardial T1 mapping, Myocardial extracellular volume, Base-to-apex gradient |
