Overview

Cardiac nuclear imaging techniques can be useful to detect and/or discriminate amongst infiltrative cardiomyopathies.

2018 ACC/AHA/HRS Guideline on the Evaluation and Management of Patients With Bradycardia and Cardiac Conduction Delay[1]

  • Cardiac nuclear imaging techniques can be useful to detect and/or discriminate amongst infiltrative cardiomyopathies, most notably in distinguishing between wild-type transthyretin and light chain cardiac amyloidosis and diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomographic imaging.
