Distinguishing Cardiac Amyloidosis and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy by Thickness and Myocardial Deformation of the Right Ventricle

<div>Diagrams of right ventricular (RV) strain analysis for global radial peak strain (GRPS), circumferential peak strain (GCPS), and longitudinal peak strain (GLPS). The four chambers (a) and short-axis (b) of the heart show a diagram for the RV strain. Measurement of the right ventricular thickness (RVT) of the inferior and anterior free wall (green line) of the midventricular from short-axis cine images (c-d) at the end of diastole.</div>
