Sorry @venkmurthy @onco_cardiology @IbrahimMSaeed1 and others but #WhyCMR is not on this algorithm. Though, it is used frequently as a “catch all” diagnostic test for various cardiomyopathies.

I use cardiac MRI frequently for non-invasive evaluation in AL. Still, you will need biopsy proof of amyloid somewhere in the body before most hematologists will treat.

SPECIAL POPULATIONS
Aortic stenosis: ATTR and AS coexist in the elderly. Common cause of LFLG AS. We have described this @maz_hanna @ClevelandClinic as well as @JoaoLCavalcante, NAC, Columbia, +more. 16% of TAVRs and 30% of LFLG AS with EF<50% may have ATTR.

Usually, it all starts with an abnormal finding in an echo suggestive of intracavitary mass. How can we tell one from the other? It can be confusing.
For artifacts, I did a Tweetorial already that describes the most common ones. Basic understanding of ultrasound physics is needed to be able to explain them: twitter.com/i/moments/1030…

[2/10] Impt to understand #TricuspidValve 1⃣ Anatomy
3 leaflets ⬇️ + fibrous annulus + 2 papillary 💪🏽 + chordae tendinae + RA/RV ❤️
⬛️ Anterior 🍃 (largest)
◾️Posterior
▪️Septal (smallest)

[3/10] 2⃣ Etiologies = Structural (1º) vs. Functional (FTR)
Keep chart ⬇️ DDx in mind when reading #EchoFirst
~80% of significant TR = FTR/2º to TA dilatation + leaflet tethering ⬅️ RV remodeling ⬅️ volume and/or pressure overload
Structural (1º) cause = less common
