Early detection of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is vital for determining the prognosis of light-chain amyloidosis (AL) patients. While few studies focused on RV deformation due to the limitation of research methods. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of RV myocardial strain in AL patients assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue tracking.
