Cases from a busy nuclear cardiology laboratory: Potential pitfalls in the interpretation of cardiac scintigraphy for ATTR cardiac amyloidosis.

ABSTRACT

Cardiac scintigraphy has emerged as a key diagnostic test for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA). However, there are potential limitations and pitfalls in the interpretation of cardiac scintigraphy for ATTR-CA that are worth noting. We present here a series of three cases which illustrate some of these important principles.
