Abstract

In this issue of JNC, Cuscaden and colleagues report the prevalence of cardiac uptake (a hallmark of cardiac amyloidosis) in patients undergoing routine {99m}^Tc-HMDP (hydroxymethylene diphosphonate) and {99m}^Tc-MDP (methylene diphosphonate) scintigraphy, suggesting a high prevalence of the disease increasing with age.1
