Supply chain issues make it tough to rely on Tc-99m PYP for ATTR-CM, potentially delaying treatment. But did you know Tc-99m HMDP is a viable alternative?
Join us next week to learn best practices for the use of each tracer & key differences.

Excellent MASTERCLASS ON CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS from ASNC every year gets better - particularly exciting for our patients with new treatments on the horizon
Important quality measures have to be in place
THANK YOU

What causes “thick walls” in the heart? 🔎
• Hypertrophy: Genetic (HCM), Hemodynamic (HTN, Aortic Stenosis), Endocrine, Athlete’s Heart
• Infiltrative: Amyloidosis, Hemochromatosis
• Storage Disorders: Fabry, Danon, Friedreich’s Ataxia

Sensitivity of Biopsies in AL #Amyloidosis 🎯
• Fat pad alone ~77%
• Combine fat pad + bone marrow → ~89% sensitivity
• Peripheral nerve, skin, liver, GI → 60~85%
• Kidney & Heart → around 95%🌟

Takeaways on genetic testing for #Amyloidosis:
• Common types: ATTRwt > AL > AA = LECT2 > hereditary
• 15% of cases are hereditary 🧬 (watch for family history, younger onset, & TTR gene variants)
• DPD/PYP can be positive in hereditary amyloid 🔎

🔎 Key Echo Takeaways for #Amyloidosis:
• Thick walls (>12 mm) + large atria + pericardial effusion = not always specific
• “Starry sky” sign 🌌 isn’t specific—use GLS to quantify
• Apical sparing with normal LVEF can be a major clue 🏆
