Purpose: Differentiation of the cause of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is challenging in cases with co-existing hypertension. CMR offers assessment of diffuse myocardial abnormalities via T1 mapping with extracellular volume fraction (ECV) and macroscopic fibrosis via late gadolinium enhancement imaging (LGE). The goal of the study was to understand if CMR parameters can differentiate hypertensive cardiomyopathy (HC) from cardiac amyloidosis (CA) in patients with hypertension and heart failure, using endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) as the gold standard.
