Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 51404
  • Study ID: 57239
  • Image ID: 28839646
  • Plane projection: REGATE 3 H TOMO , SPECT-PYP study
  • Modality: Nuclear medicine
  • System: Cardiac
  • Findings: Circumferential thickening of left ventricular walls. Focal increased trabeculations about the lateral apical wall, which does not meet the criteria for a noncompaction. Mild concentric thickening of right ventricular walls. Left atrial enlargement. There is widespread delayed enhancement involving the myocardium and the subendocardium compatible with cardiac amyloidosis. The subendocardial enhancement involves both atria and ventricles.
  • Study findings: The patient received an intravenous injection of 22.6 mCi of technetium 99m pyrophosphate.  Following a three-hour delay, a 5-minute planar anterior view study was acquired.  SPECT cardiac imaging with CT attenuation correction. The SPECT study shows focal uptake of radiotracer in all left ventricular segments. There is mild right ventricular uptake. Myocardial uptake of technetium pyrophosphate in the left and right ventricles consistent with ATTR-amyloid heart disease.
