Abstract
Myocardial perfusion abnormalities and altered myocardial blood flow have been described in cardiac amyloidosis. Transient ischemic dilatation (TID) on perfusion imaging has been seen in the presence of multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, significant LV systolic dysfunction and hypertensive cardiomyopathy. But to our knowledge this phenomenon has not been described in cardiac amyloidosis. We present a case of cardiac amyloidosis presenting with transient ischemic dilatation on myocardial perfusion imaging.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology is the only journal in the world devoted to this dynamic and growing subspecialty. Physicians and technologists value the Journal not only for its peer-reviewed articles, but also for its timely discussions about the current and future role of nuclear cardiology. Original articles address all aspects of nuclear cardiology, including interpretation, diagnosis, imaging equipment, and use of radiopharmaceuticals. As the official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, the Journal also brings readers the latest information emerging from the Society''s task forces and publishes guidelines and position papers as they are adopted.
