Cardiac amyloidosis, once considered untreatable, is now gaining well-deserved attention due to advances in imaging and the recent approval of targeted breakthrough therapies. In this paper, we discuss the role of radionuclide imaging in the evaluation and management of patients with the most common form of amyloidosis—cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). We provide a comprehensive summary of the literature interspersed with our institutional experience as appropriate, to deliver our perspective.

Abstract

Cardiac amyloidosis, once considered untreatable, is now gaining well-deserved attention due to advances in imaging and the recent approval of targeted breakthrough therapies. In this paper, we discuss the role of radionuclide imaging in the evaluation and management of patients with the most common form of amyloidosis—cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR). We provide a comprehensive summary of the literature interspersed with our institutional experience as appropriate, to deliver our perspective.
