Abstract
Etiology is a third major cause-in addition to type of organ-involved (soft-tissue/heart) and tracer type-of scintigraphic variability in cardiac amyloidosis. This is a highly relevant consideration for future studies. We conclude that 99mTc-DPD scintigraphy is a useful step in the workup of the differential diagnosis of TTR versus AL etiology in patients with documented cardiac amyloidosis.
