  • Molecular Imaging of Cardiac Amyloidosis

Recent Findings Molecular imaging plays a central role in the evaluation of patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis. It can be used to diagnose and distinguish between the different types of cardiac amyloidosis. The diagnostic properties of bone scintig- raphy are such that it allows reliable diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis without the need of endomyocardial biopsy in a significant proportion of patients. Furthermore, molecular tracers assessing amyloid plaque burden and sympathetic innervation may be useful for the non-invasive evaluation diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis. Summary Cardiac amyloidosis is an under-recognized cause of left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure in the elderly. The role of molecular imaging in cardiac amyloidosis is expected to grow considering the arrival of new therapies and molecular imaging probes. Keywords Positron emission tomography . SPECT . Cardiac amyloidosis . Transthyretin . Bone scintigraphy Introduction tissue by amyloid [3]. Different types of cardiac amyloidosis have been described and are classified based on the precursor Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a collection of diseases, proteinaccumulatinginthemyocardium.Theoverwhelming inheritedoracquired,characterizedbydepositionofamyloid majority of cardiac amyloidosis cases are caused by either in the myocardial extracellular matrix [1].
