| Popis: | Graphical abstract Highlights • Case report highlighting the utility of noninvasive imagining modalities, specifically transthoracic echocardiography in conjunction with nuclear medicine bone scan and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. • Exquisite supporting transthoracic echocardiographic, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, as well as bone scan images. • Promising demonstration of potential noninvasive use for earlier detection of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis. • Illustrative example of the use of bone scan for the diagnosis of amyloid transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis as opposed to the amyloid light chain-related illness. |
