Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with suspected ATTR-CM who underwent 99mTc-pyrophosphate scintigraphy between January 1, 2010, and September 30, 2024 (regardless of age)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1) Cases in which the image evaluation using 99mTc-pyrophosphate scintigraphy is difficult. 2) Patients who are judged as ineligible for this study by the research director.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in the degrees of 99mTc-pyrophosphate uptakes and the diagnosis rate of ATTR-CM among the different categories of patients with suspected ATTR-CM (i.e., age, sex, and LVEF [<40%, 40-50%, and >50%]). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) To assess the association between the degrees of 99mTc-pyrophosphate uptakes, all-cause death, and clinical events. 2) To assess the clinical validity of Kumamoto Criteria and Mayo Simple Score for the prediction of 99mTc-pyrophosphate uptakes and the diagnosis of ATTR-CM. 3) To develop novel clinical scores for the prediction of 99mTc-pyrophosphate uptakes and the diagnosis of ATTR-CM. 4) To assess the association between the degrees of 99mTc-pyrophosphate uptakes and the diagnosis rate of non-ATTR-CM cardiomyopathies. | — |
