Elucidating associations between technetium pyrophosphate scintigraphy, echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis by Bennett Di Giovanni, Dakota Gustafson, Priya Arivalagan, Mitchell B Adamson, Julie Vishram-Nielsen, Diego Delgado

“…Conversely, the heart-to-contralateral lung ratio, a quantitative index derived from 99mTc-PYP scintigraphy, did not show significant correlations with cardiac biomarkers (logBNP and logTroponin), but demonstrated significant associations with LV mass (β=134.52, p=0.001) and IVSd (β=0.46, p=0.002) in patients with ATTRm.Conclusions These data suggest strong associations exist between cardiac biomarkers, structural echocardiographic changes and 99mTc-PYP scintigraphy, emphasising the importance of a multipronged diagnostic approach stratified by genotype.…”
