Assessment of ATTR Cardiac Amyloidosis in Patients with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Using Tc-99m Pyrophosphate Scintigraphy
Tc-99 m PYP imaging is an effective noninvasive tool for diagnosing ATTR CA, particularly in patients with unexplained LVH. The presence of HFpEF, abnormal ECG, and restrictive features on echocardiography should prompt further investigation for CA. Early diagnosis allows for timely management, improving patient outcomes.
