Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy disease burden quantified using 99mTc-pyrophosphate SPECT/CT: volumetric parameters versus SUVmax ratio at 1 and 3 hours
ConclusionsThe disease burden of ATTR-CM was quantified more accurately by volumetric evaluation of99mTc-PYP SPECT/CT than SUVmax ratios and the performance was equivalent between 1 and 3 hours. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)

Use of PET/CT to detect myocardial inflammation and the risk of malignant arrhythmia in chronic Chagas disease
Conclusion18F-FDG and68Ga-DOTATOC uptake on PET/CT may be useful for the detection of myocardial inflammation in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy, and68Ga-DOTATOC uptake may be associated with the presence of malignant arrhythmia, with potential therapeutic implications.

Cardiac metastases from neuroendocrine neoplasms: complementary role of SSTR PET/CT and cardiac MRI
ConclusionSSTR PET/CT and CMR are complementary investigations in the imaging of NEN cardiac metastases. SSTR PET/CT appears more sensitive for lesion detection, and CMR offers better lesion characterization. Both investigations present useful information for the planning of treatment including PRRT, which was administered safely. (Source: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology)
