Practical Points for Echocardiography in Cardiac Amyloidosis

This document was created by an American Society of Echocardiog-raphy Amyloidosis Taskforce as a practical accompaniment to the recently published multisociety Expert Consensus Recommendations for Multimodality Imaging in Cardiac Amyloidosis.1,2 In this docu-ment we will outline the common echocardiographic imaging find-ings of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), highlighting red flags that should raise suspicion for the diagnosis. We will also provide tips for image acquisition and interpretation. Based on the comprehensive multiso-ciety document on imaging of CA,1,2 this document will also provide recommendations for standard reporting of an echocardiogram in a patient with CA.
