Amyloidosis Cardiac, Healthy Adults
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to define the intracardiac flow imaging biomarkers in cardiac amyloidosis.
Interventions
A magnetic resonance imaging study for assessment of cardiac structure and intracardiac flow
An imaging test that uses soundwaves that cannot be heard (ultrasound) to take pictures of the heart and vessels.
A self-paced, test of exercise capacity performed unencouraged intensity that measures the distance that patients can walk on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Subject is clinically stable without cardio-vascular-related hospitalizations within 6 weeks prior to enrollment as assessed by the investigators. * Subject is able to provide written informed consent and is willing and able to complete study procedures. * Currently in sinus rhythm by clinical assessment or documented electrocardiographic studies. * Subject and disease characteristics noted by medical record review: * Healthy control volunteers must also meet the following criteria: Karnofsky performance scale \> 80%; ECOG status 0 or 1. * ATTR cardiac amyloidosis based on meeting all the following criteria: Diagnosis of amyloidosis within five years prior to study screening; Documentation of absence of AL, heavy chain disease, multiple myeloma or malignant lymphoproliferative disorders; Transthyretin amyloid deposits in cardiac tissue OR technetium (99mTc) pyrophosphate scintigraphy with grade 2 or 3 cardiac uptake OR Transthyretin amyloid deposits in non-cardiac tissue with echocardiographic evidence of cardiac involvement or an end-diastolic mean wall thickness \>12mm OR Transthyretin amyloid deposits in non-cardiac tissue with CMR diagnostic of amyloidosis * AL with cardiac involvement based on meeting all the following criteria: Diagnosis of amyloidosis within five years prior to study screening; Histopathologic diagnosis of amyloidosis with AL protein identification; Documented clinical signs or symptoms consistent with heart failure; Cardiac involvement as defined by: Amyloid deposits in cardiac deposits OR Echocardiography with an end-diastolic mean wall thickness \> 12 mm in the absence of other causes OR Elevated NT-proBNP (\>332 ng/L) in the absence of renal failure or atrial fibrillation OR CMR diagnostic of amyloidosis; * AL without cardiac involvement based on meeting all the following criteria: Diagnosis of amyloidosis within five years prior to study screening; Histopathologic diagnosis of amyloidosis with AL protein identification; No documented clinical signs and symptoms consistent with heart failure from AL; Absence of cardiac involvement as defined by: Echocardiography with an end-diastolic mean wall thickness \< 13 mm if the subject does not have other causes for increased wall thickness AND NT-proBNP \<333 ng/L if the subject does not have renal failure or atrial fibrillation AND No CMR diagnostic of amyloidosis if CMR is available prior to screening.
Exclusion criteria
* Unable to consent or unable to complete all study procedures. * Unable to ambulate for 6 minutes (confirmed at study coordinator visit). * Unable to maintain in supine position for 30 minutes. * Unable to maintain breath-holding for 10 seconds (confirmed at study coordinator visit). * Contraindications for safe CMR scanning (e.g., uncontrolled claustrophobia, cochlear implant, implanted neural stimulator). * Presence of implantable cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator. * History of complex congenital heart disease, intracardiac shunt (except for patent foramen ovale), prosthetic valves, prosthesis in the main pulmonary artery or ascending thoracic aorta. * Significant artifact from prior MRI studies. * Pregnant or breast-feeding women. * Weight equal to or greater than 155 kg. * Maximum body side-to-side or anterior-posterior diameter equal to or greater than 70 cm. * Documented non-sinus rhythm within 1 week prior to screening. * For healthy controls, the following
