Multimodality Imaging in Cardiac Amyloidosis: Evidence Base and Standardized Methods of Imaging
Publication Date: July 1, 2021
Last Updated: March 14, 2022
Key Recommendations for Diagnosis: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance
Comprehensive CMR-based evaluation of cardiac structure, function, and myocardial tissue characterization is helpful for diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis, particularly when echocardiographic findings are suggestive or indeterminate.
Key Recommendations for Diagnosis: Radionuclide Imaging
Myocardial imaging with 99mTc-PYP/DPD/HMDP, in the appropriate clinical context, is highly sensitive and specific to diagnose ATTR cardiac amyloidosis and may aid in its early detection.
