Diagnostic performance of PET for detection of cardiac amyloidosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Amyloid PET has a high sensitivity and specificity for the detection of CA. However, F-18 NaF PET showed relatively low sensitivity with high specificity. At present, the literature regarding the use of amyloid and F-18 NaF PET for diagnosis of CA is still limited; thus, further large multicenter studies would be necessary to substantiate the diagnostic accuracy of amyloid and F-18 NaF PET for detection of CA.
