Figure 1 2D Echocardiographic Image (Parasternal Long-Axis View) From a Patient With AL Cardiac Amyloidosis

Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic image (parasternal long-axis view) from a patient with AL cardiac amyloidosis showing normal biventricular dimensions, granular "sparkling" ventricular wall appearance, concentric left ventricular wall thickening, and thickened mitral valve leaflets suggesting infiltration. Ao = aorta; IVS = interventricular septum; LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle.
