NCT ID NCT07216469

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study aims to see if a special MRI technique called magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can measure stiffness in the hearts of people with cardiac amyloidosis, a condition where abnormal proteins build up and stiffen the heart. About 20 adults with this condition will undergo the MRE scan to check if it's feasible and useful. The goal is to improve how doctors detect and monitor heart involvement in amyloidosis.
