Semi-quantitative parameters of PET/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), including summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS), summed difference score (SDS) and transient ischemic dilation (TID), as well as left ventricular function parameters, such as rest and stress imaging left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), and end-systolic volume (ESV) were compared between two groups.

The optimal cut-off values of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of SUVmax, MTV and TLG were investigated by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.

Different types of myocardial amyloidosis have different prognosis and treatment methods. Therefore, early diagnosis and classification are particularly important. Nuclear medical imaging can diagnose and classify myocardial amyloidosis noninvasively. Radiotracers for bone scintigraphy has high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of ATTR, and have certain value for prognosis. Sympathetic innervation imaging tracers can detect cardiac sympathetic innervation, which may show myocardial involvement of amyloidosis earlier than bone scintigraphy. Amyloid protein specific imaging agent, which was first used in the diagnosis of amyloidosis in nervous system, has also yielded good results from preliminary studies in myocardial amyloidosis, and the diagnostic specificity in AL is slightly better than that in ATTR.
