3D myocardial deformation analysis from cine MRI as a marker of amyloid protein burden in cardiac amyloidosis: validation versus T1 mapping
This study identifies strong associations b etween 3D myocardial strain and T1-mapping based markers of regional amyloid protein deposition. These findings support expanded investigation of myocardial strain as a surrogate marker of response to novel therapeutic strategies in patients with cardiac amyloidosis.
