Nuclear medicine imaging with 99mTc-Pyrophosphate scintigraphy in patients with suspected cardiac amyloidosis

Amyloidosis is an infiltrative disease characterized by extracellular deposition of insoluble fibrillary protein.Cardiac involvement can lead to restrictive cardiomyopathy (CMP) and heart failure. 99mTc- Pyrophosphate (99mTc-PPY) has high affinity for TTR amyloid, allowing differential diagnosis with AL and other nonamyloidotic CMP with hypertrophic phenotype, in which 99mTc-Pyrophosphate (PYP) is low or absent
