PURPOSE: Cardiac involvement in familial transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis is of major prognostic value, and the development of early-diagnostic tools that could trigger the use of new disease-modifying treatments is crucial. The aim of our study was to compare the respective contributions of 99mTc-diphosphonate scintigraphy (DPD, detecting amyloid deposits) and 123I-MIBG (MIBG, assessing cardiac sympathetic...
