Tc-99m(V) DMSA uptake in cardiac amyloidosis

Clin Nucl Med. 1991 Sep;16(9):673-5. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199109000-00013.

Abstract

Tc-99m(V) DMSA scintigraphy was performed on two patients with primary cardiac amyloidosis. Scintigraphy performed (after radionuclide administration) showed accumulation in the myocardium.
