Detecting Early Myocardial Infiltration w/Amyloid & Light Chain Deposition Disease in Multiple Myeloma Subjects

Role of Cardiac MR (CMR) In Detecting Features of Early Myocardial Infiltration With Amyloid and Light Chain Deposition Disease in Subjects With Multiple Myeloma

The purpose of this study is to see if MRI techniques can be used for early evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis which is sometimes seen in individuals with multiple myeloma. Cardiac amyloidosis is a medical disorder that decreases heart function.

The purpose is to investigate the use of multiple newer CMR techniques for early evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis in multiple myeloma.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All races and ethnic groups
• Male and female ages 18-80 years of age
• History of multiple myeloma
• CMR study for evaluation for cardiac amyloidosis

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnant women
• Subject with a metallic or electronic or other device that could be affected by the magnet
