Cardiac amyloidosis is an infiltrative cardiomyopathy caused by the deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils in the myocardium, leading to abnormal cardiac function and heart failure. Diagnosis is often challenging due to its diverse symptoms and related comorbidities. Although endomyocardial biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis, a complete diagnostic approach often includes non-invasive methods such as Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and nuclear medicine techniques. Nuclear medicine bone-seeking agents are useful for diagnosing the transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis subtype. CMR is especially useful when echocardiography results are inconclusive or for differentiating cardiac amyloidosis from other conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. CMR provides a comprehensive evaluation of morphological and functional abnormalities, inversion time, late gadolinium enhancement, and can include advanced techniques such as T1 mapping and extracellular volume quantification for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. This review outlines how CMR and nuclear medicine are integral to the diagnostic process for cardiac amyloidosis, emphasizing their crucial roles and the synergy between various diagnostic techniques in assessing suspected cases. ESSENTIALS: REQUIRED SUMMARY STATEMENT: Nuclear medicine PYP scans and CMR play a pivotal role in the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, alongside other essential diagnostic modalities.
