Abstract
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) plays an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis of various heart diseases. The incidence of cardiac amyloidosis and aortic stenosis has been increasing in recent years, especially with the aging population, and their possible coexistence has created frequent diagnostic challenges in clinical practice. CMR assumes an important value in this context due to its unique capacity for multiparametric assessment evaluations that include anatomical, functional, and histopathological aspects. The present review aimed to increase our knowledge of the diagnosis and prognosis of amyloidosis in the presence of aortic stenosis and highlighted the importance of CMR in this scenario.
