Abstract: Relative apical sparing of strain (RAS) is a typical echocardiographic (Echo) feature of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is widely used to evaluate myocardial characteristics. CMR feature-tracking is now available to evaluate strain. The aim of this
