A patient with familial amyloid polyneuropathy and congestive heart failure underwent myocardial imaging using technetium-99m pyrophosphate. Planar scintigraphy showed an intense, diffuse biventricular uptake of the radiotracer. Single-photon emission computed tomography demonstrated an unevenly distributed uptake of the isotope. The greatest activity corresponded to regions with marked echocardiographic changes. Emission tomography may aid in assessing the degree and distribution of the infiltrative lesions in cardiac amyloidosis.
一名患有家族性淀粉样多神经病和充血性心力衰竭的患者接受了锝-99m焦磷酸盐心肌显像。平面闪烁扫描显示放射性示踪剂在双心室有强烈、弥漫性摄取。单光子发射计算机断层扫描显示同位素摄取分布不均。最大活性对应于超声心动图有明显变化的区域。发射断层扫描可能有助于评估心脏淀粉样变性中浸润性病变的程度和分布。
