Coronary Artery Disease in Cardiac Amyloidosis: Prevalence, Clinical Relevance, and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) as well as coronary artery disease (CAD) are both highly prevalent among the elderly. However, both the prevalence and risk factors associated with significant CAD among patients with CA, as well as potential outcome disparities, remain mainly unexplored. This study aimed to show the prevalence of CAD in patients with CA, as well as to assess outcomes and differences in late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in comparison to patients with lone CA. Methods: We retrospectively assessed CA patients who underwent CAD assessment between 2013 and 2023. The primary endpoint was all-cause death. A subgroup underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) with LGE assessment. Results: Of 255 consecutive patients with CA, 81 patients
