DPD Quantification Correlates With Extracellular Volume and Disease Severity in Wild-Type Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis
12 Sept 2024
Abstract excerpt
Background: The pathophysiological hallmark of wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM) is the deposition of amyloid within the myocardium. Objectives: Tc-3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (DPD) uptake and myocardial amyloid burden, cardiac function, cardiac biomarkers, and clinical status in ATTRwt-CM. Methods: Forty ATTRwt-CM patients underwent quantitative DPD single photon...
