Single-center analysis of cardiac amyloidosis using 99mTc-HMDP imaging for diagnosis and evaluation after tafamidis treatment
H/CL ratio and SUVmax/SUVpeak in 99m Tc-HMDP imaging were useful for diagnosing cardiac ATTR. Myocardial SUVpeak may be useful for monitoring changes in cardiac uptake after tafamidis treatment for cardiac ATTR.
