Diagnostic Accuracy of Bone Scintigraphy for the Histopathological Diagnosis of Cardiac Transthyretin Amyloidosis—A Retrospective Austrian Multicenter Study

Diagnostic Accuracy of Bone Scintigraphy for the Histopathological Diagnosis of Cardiac Transthyretin Amyloidosis—A Retrospective Austrian Multicenter Study

We aimed to ascertain the real-world diagnostic accuracy of bone scintigraphy in combination with free light chain (FLC) assessment for transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis (CA) using the histopathological diagnosis derived from endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) as a reference standard. We retrospecti...
