Abstract

A review is made of the original article by Muñoz-Moreno J. on cardiac amyloidosis in which pyrophosphate scintigraphy images are described. International variations are specified as well as the different protocols performed at the National Cardiovascular Institute and the status of the radiopharmaceuticals used.
