Severe Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, Small Pericardial Effusion, and Diffuse Late Gadolinium Enhancement by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Suspecting Cardiac Amyloidosis: Endomyocardial Biopsy Reveals an Unexpected Diagnosis

Figure 1

Echocardiographic images revealing severe left ventricular hypertrophy ((a)–(f)). Reduced longitudinal function was noticed in the presence of preserved radial deformation and ejection fraction ((g)-(h)). Minimal pericardial effusion was noticed (orange arrows in (b) and (e)).
