Figure 2.

Relationship between interventricular thickness (IVSD), 99mTc-DPD uptake, hypertension, and fibril type. Filled figures indicate patients with type A fibrils, and empty figures patients with type B fibrils. Triangles indicate patients with hypertension, and circles patients without. Type A amyloid fibrils are composed of full-length and truncated transthyretin, type B of full-length transthyretin only. The uptake of 99mTc-DPD is strongly correlated to IVSD (Spearman RS = 0.76; p < 0.01). DPD uptake grade = uptake of 99mTc-DPD graded according to Puille et al (22).
