Tc-HDP quantitative SPECT/CT in transthyretin cardiac amyloid and the development of a reference interval for myocardial uptake in the non-affected population

European Journal of Hybrid Imaging, 2018
Background 99mTechnetium-HDP (HDP) bone scans differentiate transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloid from other infiltrative myocardial diseases. These scans are not quantitative and are assessed by comparing myocardial uptake to bone.

Cytokine production profile of heart-infiltrating T cells in Chagas' disease cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1998
The hallmark of chronic Chagas' disease cardiomyopathy (CCC) is the finding of a T cell-rich inflammatory mononuclear cell infiltrate in the presence of extremely few parasites in the heart lesions. The scarcity of parasites in affected heart tissue casts doubt on the direct participation of Trypanosoma cruzi in CCC heart tissue lesions, and suggests ...

Identification of key immune-related genes and immune infiltration in atrial fibrillation with valvular heart disease based on bioinformatics analysis [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2021
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common persistent arrhythmia. Valvular heart disease (VHD) and AF frequently coexist. In our study, from performing bioinformatics analysis, we sought to identify immune-related genes (IRGs) and explore the role of immune cell infiltration in AF-VHD in depth, aiming at investigating the potential molecular mechanism

Ischemic Hepatitis as the Presenting Manifestation of Cardiac Amyloidosis

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2014
An abrupt elevation in aminotransferases without clear etiology may be attributed to hypoxic hepatitis. Underlying cardiac dysfunction, an important clinical clue, is often overlooked as a cause of hypoxic hepatitis, and understanding the interdependence

Cardiac Masses on Cardiac CT: A Review [PDF]

, 2014
Cardiac masses are rare entities that can be broadly categorized as either neoplastic or non-neoplastic. Neoplastic masses include benign and malignant tumors. In the heart, metastatic tumors are more common than primary malignant tumors.
