Multimodality Imaging for Diagnosing Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
CUREUS JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE(2023)
摘要
Amyloidosis is the result of the extracellular deposition of amyloid in various organs. Common types are light-chain and transthyretin amyloidosis. Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by amyloid infiltration in cardiac tissues. The detection of CA is increasing with the advent of easily accessible imaging modalities. Early diagnosis ensures a better prognosis. We present a case of cardiac amyloidosis, diagnosed from specific imaging findings on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and more precisely as transthyretin type based on findings on nuclear scintigraphy.
