Workshop Description: This workshop will highlight patient clinical and imaging features which are associated with cardiac amyloidosis, illustrated by patient cases. The potential roles for cardiac CT and cardiac MRI for investigating patients with possible cardiac amyloidosis will be reviewed. Lastly, we will describe the latest advances in nuclear cardiology for imaging patients with possible cardiac amyloidosis.

Interactive and Engagement Activities Description: At least 25% of the time will be spent with interactive activities. The session will start and end with a poll using the Audience Response System. Additionally, we will include 15 minutes for a panel discussion at the end with live question and answer period.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of this session participants will be able to:

outline clinical and echocardiographic features which are suggestive of cardiac amyloidosis;
describe potential roles for cardiac CT and cardiac MRI in investigating patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis; and
recognize recent advances in pyrophosphate imaging which have led to improved clinical utility.
