This trial is testing whether a specialized imaging scan called Florbetaben PET/MRI—which combines two types of imaging technology—can better detect important signs of disease in people with cardiac amyloidosis (a condition where abnormal proteins build up in the heart). Researchers want to see if this combined scan can help predict which patients are at higher risk for serious heart problems in the future.
Currently, doctors use several different imaging tests to evaluate cardiac amyloidosis, but no single test gives them all the information they need. This study aims to find out whether this new combination imaging approach can provide better, more complete information to help doctors predict outcomes and guide treatment decisions.

You would come to the University Hospital in Essen for a specialized imaging scan that combines PET and MRI technologies to take detailed pictures of your heart. The study team will also perform additional standard heart tests like echocardiography and review your medical information. Researchers will then follow your health over time to see if the imaging results help predict which patients develop serious heart complications.
