Abstract: Systemic amyloidosis is a group of heterogeneous disorders,Its common feature is the deposition of misfolded proteins from different sources in multiple tissues and organs throughout the body.When the heart is involved,it is called cardiac amyloidosis,and its severity is a decisive factor in patient's prognosis.Because of its excellent spatial resolution and high tissue contrast,magnetic resonance imaging has a broad application prospect in morphological assessment,diagnosis,risk stratification and prognosis assessment of cardiac amyloidosis.In this article,application progress of nuclear magnetic resonance in cardiac amyloidosis is reviewed.


Key words: cardiac amyloidosis, cardiac magnetic resonance, magnetic resonance imaging
