Abstract: Quantitation of myocardial 99m Tc-pyrophosphate activity may have high diagnostic accuracy, but its correlation with disease burden is unknown. We examined the relationship between 99m Tc-pyrophosphate quantitation and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) measures in patients… read more here.

Abstract: Background: The outcomes of patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have remained largely unchanged. Myocardial transthyretin amyloid deposition (ATTR) has been found in autopsy studies in up to 30% of patients with… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT A 61-year-old man was hospitalized for suspected cardiac amyloidosis. 99mTc-Pyrophosphate scintigraphy showed intense radiotracer uptake in the heart compared with the ribs, suggestive of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. Subsequent genetic test showed missense mutations in… read more here.
