Real‐time cross‐sectional echocardiographic diagnosis of infiltrative cardiomyopathy due to amyloid

We report the real-time cross-sectional echocardiographic findings in a case of cardiac amyloidosis. Alterations in cardiac structure and function previously demonstrated by M-mode echocardiography were also demonstrable on cross-sectional examination. A new finding of an altered pattern of myocardial echoes detected by cross-sectional echocardiography alone is described.
