This is our second case report that showed ATTRv cardiomyopathy reversal under anti-amyloid therapy-documented by multi-parametric CMR. Our findings support the hypothesis that amyloid infiltration leading to cardiomyopathy is not an irreversible pathological process-but rather a dynamic one, that cannot only be stopped but even reversed (to a certain degree) by currently emerging anti-amyloid therapies. Moreover, the role of serial multi-parametric CMR imaging for surveillance of cardiomyopathy dynamics under these therapies is nicely illustrated.
