Abstract: Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a severe condition characterized by amyloid fibril deposition in the myocardium, leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Differentiating between amyloidosis subtypes is crucial due to distinct treatment strategies. The individual… 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.
