The MWE was estimated as external cardiac work from the stroke volume and mean arterial pressure normalized to the LV myocardial mass.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Rest MBF in 92 subjects (62\u2009\u00b1\u20098 years, 52 men) with AL amyloidosis averaged 0.87\u2009\u00b1\u20090.21\u2005ml\/min\/g and correlated with MWE (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.42; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Rest MBF was similarly low in subjects with sustained hematologic remission after successful AL amyloidosis therapy (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200921), as in those with recently diagnosed AL amyloidosis. Both MBF and MWE decreased by ECV tertile (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01 for linear trends). The association of ECV with MWE comprised a direct effect (84% of the total effect; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) on MWE from adverse interstitial remodeling assessed by ECV and an indirect effect (16% of the total effect; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) mediated by MBF. There was a significant base-to-apex gradient of rest MBF in subjects with higher amyloid burden.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In AL amyloidosis, both MBF and MWE decrease as cardiac amyloid burden and ECV expansion increase.
