Can Nuclear Imaging Techniques Predict Patient Outcome and Guide Medical Management in Hereditary Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis?
Nuclear imaging recently gained a key role in the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of transthyretin (TTR)-related cardiac amyloidosis. This review aims at summarizing the state-of-the art regarding the implementation of nuclear imaging in the management of hereditary mutated TTR-cardiac amyloidosis (mTTR-CA).. Although cardiac uptake of bone tracers is acknowledged as a specific marker of TTR amyloid cardiac burden, recent studies validated the implementation of bone scan in the flow chart for non-invasive diagnosis and follow-up of CA in multicenter trials. Simultaneously, cardiac denervation evidenced by MIBG scintigraphy proved to be a strong and independent prognostic marker of poor outcome in mTTR-CA. By its unique ability to assess both amyloid burden and cardiac denervation, nuclear imaging may prove useful as part of multimodality imaging tools to trigger treatment initiation and monitoring in patients with mTTR-CA.

Vagal enhancement linking abnormal blood pressure response and subendocardial ischemia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
An abnormal blood pressure response to exercise has been reported to be associated with left ventricular subendocardial ischemia in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We report a case of HCM with an abnormal blood pressure response and subendocardial ischemia, in which the analysis of heart rate variability revealed exercise-induced vagal enhancement. The present case highlights the possible mechanism linking abnormal blood pressure response and left ventricular subendocardial ischemia in patients with HCM.
