ABSTRACT
Amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is a protein-misfolding disease characterized by fibril accumulation in the extracellular space that can result in local tissue disruption and organ dysfunction. Cardiac involvement drives morbidity and mortality, and the heart is the major organ affected by ATTR amyloidosis. Multimodality cardiac imaging (ie, echocardiography, scintigraphy, and cardiac magnetic resonance) allows accurate diagnosis of ATTR cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), and this is of particular importance because ATTR-targeting therapies have become available and probably exert their greatest benefit at earlier disease stages. Apart from establishing the diagnosis, multimodality cardiac imaging may help to better understand pathogenesis, predict prognosis, and monitor treatment response. The aim of this review is to give an update on contemporary and evolving cardiac imaging methods and their role in diagnosing and managing ATTR-CM. Further, an outlook is presented on how artificial intelligence in cardiac imaging may improve future clinical decision making and patient management in the setting of ATTR-CM.
