- AL amyloidosis can lead to heart issues (AL-CM), and existing imaging techniques struggle to identify heart dysfunction accurately.* -
- A study involving cardiac MRIs compared patients with AL-CM to healthy individuals, revealing lower myocardial function index (MFI) in AL-CM patients and indicating MFI as a potential marker for risk assessment.* -
- The findings showed that a lower MFI correlates with worse survival rates, making it a valuable tool for evaluating heart health in AL-CM patients.*
