Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A decreased longitudinal strain in basal segments with a base-to-apex gradient has been described in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA). OBJECTIVES: Aim was to investigate the left ventricular (LV) regional distribution of early-phase 99mTc-Hydroxymethylene diphosphonate (99mTc-HMDP) uptake in patients with transthyretin-related cardiac amyloidosis (TTR-CA). METHODS: All patients underwent a...
