Abstract: Hereditary transthyretin-amyloid amyloidosis (ATTRv) is an underdiagnosed condition commonly manifesting as congestive heart failure. Recently, scintigraphy utilizing DPD as a tracer was shown to identify ATTRv and wild-type ATTR cardiomyopathy. The aim of this study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-05689-8
Abstract: The lack of a standardized cut-off value in the quantitative method and an inter-observer disagreement in the evaluation of the semiquantitative score in 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy leaves several patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) undiagnosed (grade 1… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Aims Technetium-99m-labelled 3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (99mTc-DPD scintigraphy) is recognized as highly accurate for the non-invasive diagnosis of transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis (CA). A proportion of patients with immunoglobulin light chain (AL) CA have also been… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Systemic AL (amyloid light-chain) amyloidosis is a relatively rare disease. 99mTc-DPD (3,3-diphosphono-1,2-pyrophosphate) bone scan is a highly sensitive diagnostic tool for cardiac amyloidosis of ATTR (transthyretin) type. In AL amyloidosis, there have been some… read more here.
