Detecting Early Myocardial Infiltration w/Amyloid & Light Chain Deposition Disease in Multiple Myeloma Subjects

Terminated
Conditions
Multiple Myeloma
Interventions
Device: Administering three additional MRI images
Registration Number
NCT01018927
Lead Sponsor
University of Arkansas
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if MRI techniques can be used for early evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis which is sometimes seen in individuals with multiple myeloma. Cardiac amyloidosis is a medical disorder that decreases heart function.

Detailed Description

The purpose is to investigate the use of multiple newer CMR techniques for early evaluation of cardiac amyloidosis in multiple myeloma.
