DOI: 10.1536/ihj.21-430
Abstract: The diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis is frequently delayed because histological confirmation is often challenging. Few studies have attempted to clarify the utility and safety of abdominal fat pad fine-needle aspiration (FPFNA) for an initial screening… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10061377
Abstract: Several studies investigated the use of 99mTc-labelled Aprotinin as an amyloid seeker some years ago. In vitro tests showed high binding affinity for several types of amyloid fibrils accompanied by an excellent specificity. Initial human… read more here.
