Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) leads to variable degrees of myocardial infiltration with a final echocardiographic phenotype of "hypertrophy." Although many non-invasive imaging techniques (MRI, CT, scintigraphy, PET) are useful, the definitive diagnosis is still based on myocardial histology. We explored the possible role of [18F]-NaF PET/CT in the diagnosis of this disease in two cases with wild-type (ATTRwt) or mutant (ATTRm) Ile68Leu transthyretin (TTR)-related CA.
