A member asked:
Cud it explain why cardio assumed heart was hypokensis lv mid baslia,an when i question it as rv enlarged,they refused a lv mra.i saidcardiac amyloid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reason?: Cardiac amyloid is a rare disease. Do you have CHF? Atrial fibrillation? Stage II diastolic dysfunction on echo? Abnormal wall thickness? Diffuse low voltage on EKG? Family history of amyloidosis? If the answer is no, you have no indication for a cardiac MRI. There are many causes of RV enlargement addressed with echo and PFTs. Do stress myocardial perfusion imaging to assess hypokinesis.
