Antimyosin scintigraphy for detection of cardiac amyloidosis.
The diagnostic value of antimyosin scanning in 7 patients with biopsy-proven cardiac amyloidosis was examined in this study. Antimyosin imaging was positive in all amyloid patients, with more intense uptake in patients with heart failure.
