<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Purpose</jats:title> <jats:p>This study aimed to evaluate whether quantification of myocardial susceptibility by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can be an imaging biomarker for cardiac amyloidosis (CA).</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Materials and methods</jats:title> <jats:p>Twenty-six patients with CA underwent CMR, including magnetic phase imaging with a 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging scanner. Myocardial susceptibility was quantified as a phase shift slope value by magnetic phase analysis. Those values from patients with CA were compared with corresponding values from 18 controls and 15 healthy volunteers. A univariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify significant parameters related to CA.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>The phase shift slope, a quantitative parameter of myocardial susceptibility, was significantly lower in the CA group compared with the control group and compared with healthy volunteers (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.01). From a total of 17 tested variables, 6 were considered to be significant predictors of CA (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> ≤ 0.05) during the univariate analysis. The phase shift slope yielded the best AUC of 0.89 (95% CI = 0.79–0.98) for the prediction of CA (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.01). The phase shift slope was significantly correlated with the end-diastolic thickness of the interventricular septum (<jats:italic>r</jats:italic> =  − 0.39, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.01) and posterior wall of the left ventricle (<jats:italic>r</jats:italic> =  − 0.35, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.02).</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title> <jats:p>Myocardial susceptibility analysis by CMR helps in the diagnosis of patients with CA and can be a new quantitative imaging biomarker for CA.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
