Description
Summary:To determine the diagnostic contribution of the absolute quantification of the myocardial deposit of Tc-DPD in patients with cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin deposits (ATTR). SPECT/CT was performed in 41 patients with positive scintigraphic results for ATTR cardiac amyloidosis. The patients were divided into two groups (Perugini grades 2 and 3) and the SUVmax at the level of the bone and both ventricles and the percentage of dose calculated in these areas were calculated. The Student's t-test was used to compare results and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to assess differential efficacy and establish discriminatory cut-off points between both groups of patients. Statistically significant differences were observed in all the study variables, with the exception of bone SUV . The differences with the greatest statistical power were observed in the variables SUV and the percentage of dose in both ventricles (p
