title: Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging in cardiac amyloidosis.
abstract: Cardiac amyloidosis is an uncommon cause of heart failure. Based on an observation of immunocytic cardiac amyloidosis with a fatal course, the diagnostic modalities are reviewed with special emphasis on echocardiographic findings. The possible role of magnetic resonance imaging is discussed.
