[99mTc]Tc-Pyrophosphate Scintigraphy for Cardiac Amyloidosis: Evaluation of Scintigraphy Findings and Their Prognostic Value
[ <sup>99m</sup> Tc]Tc-PYP scintigraphy is highly sensitive and specific for detecting ATTR CA and differentiating from AL CA. Even in the absence of a diagnosis of CA, the fact that survival may be short in cases with high uptake on scintigraphy should be considered in the follow-up of these cases.
