Abstract

The coexistence of bicuspid aortic valve disease and coronary artery disease is well‐established, but the identification of cardiac amyloidosis in this population has surged with advancing imaging techniques, introducing complexities in patient management. This case report emphasizes the pivotal role of multimodality imaging in accurately diagnosing three concurrent pathologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
