What causes “thick walls” in the heart? 🔎 • Hypertrophy: Genetic (HCM), Hemodynamic (HTN, Aortic Stenosis), Endocrine, Athlete’s Heart • Infiltrative: Amyloidosis, Hemochromatosis • Storage Disorders: Fabry, Danon, Friedreich’s Ataxia #Amyloidosis #CVNuc ASNC Society

🔎 Key Echo Takeaways for #Amyloidosis: • Thick walls (>12 mm) + large atria + pericardial effusion = not always specific • “Starry sky” sign 🌌 isn’t specific—use GLS to quantify • Apical sparing with normal LVEF can be a major clue 🏆 #CVNuc ASNC Society

Takeaways on genetic testing for #Amyloidosis: • Common types: ATTRwt > AL > AA = LECT2 > hereditary • 15% of cases are hereditary 🧬 (watch for family history, younger onset, & TTR gene variants) • DPD/PYP can be positive in hereditary amyloid 🔎 #CVNuc ASNC Society

Sensitivity of Biopsies in AL #Amyloidosis 🎯 • Fat pad alone ~77% • Combine fat pad + bone marrow → ~89% sensitivity • Peripheral nerve, skin, liver, GI → 60~85% • Kidney & Heart → around 95%🌟 #CVNuc ASNC Society

Excellent MASTERCLASS ON CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS from ASNC every year gets better - particularly exciting for our patients with new treatments on the horizon Important quality measures have to be in place THANK YOU ASNC Society Prem Soman Ahmad Masri Saurabh Malhotra Sarah Cuddy

Supply chain issues make it tough to rely on Tc-99m PYP for ATTR-CM, potentially delaying treatment. But did you know Tc-99m HMDP is a viable alternative? Join us next week to learn best practices for the use of each tracer & key differences. Register👉bit.ly/4hHf8xm

📢 Join us TONIGHT for the Optimizing the Diagnosis of ATTR-CM webinar! Learn the latest techniques for acquiring, interpreting & reporting Tc-99m HMDP & Tc-99m PYP—plus best practices for each tracer. Register👉bit.ly/4hHf8xm #cvnuc

PYP test is a simple and transformative imaging for ATTR amyloidosis ASNC Society Saurabh Malhotra Amyloidosis #CvNuc ASNC Society SPECT imaging is needed to ensure myocardial uptake

Tips and tricks for ATTR SPECT imaging. 👇do not depend on planar -->Do SPECT 🫵 PYP uptake can be patchy or diffuse ✍️ Expect wash out with HMDP and scan at 1 hour ASNC Society #CVNuc Prem Soman Saurabh Malhotra

3 hour imaging with HMDP can lead to false negative scan for ATTR amyloidosis ASNC Society Saurabh Malhotra
