Expert Consensus Recommendations for Multimodality Imaging in Cardiac Amyloidosis
The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) assembled a writing group with expertise in cardiovascular imaging and amyloidosis, with representatives from the American College of Cardiology (ACC), the American Heart Association (AHA), the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE), the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA), the International Society of Amyloidosis (ISA), the Society of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance imaging (SCMR), and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).
FREE POSTER:
Echocardiography in Cardiac Amyloidosis
This poster focuses on the common echocardiographic imaging findings of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), and highlights red flags that should raise suspicion for the diagnosis. It offers practical tips for image acquisition and interpretation and outlines recommendations for standard reporting of an echocardiogram in a patient with CA.
This piece was created from an article “Practical Points for Echocardiography in Cardiac Amyloidosis” that was published in the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography.

Partnership with Preventative Cardiovascular Nurses Association (PCNA)
ASE partnered with Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association (PCNA) to present education on topics that touch echocardiographers and the cardiovascular nursing team. The goal of this partnership is to share learning, perspectives, and communicate the challenges and opportunities around patient identification and management that impact both communities.
Sharing expertise across team members can provide each member with a deeper understanding of issues in various cardiovascular diseases. ASE is committed to working across the field of cardiovascular health to impact better patient care.
