| Abstract |
Three types of amyloid are responsible for cardiac amyloidosis. Differentiation of the subtype is critical for the disease progression and the therapeutic decision. Myocardial scintigraphy using Tc-PYP is able to differentiate the cardiac amyloid subtype with high sensitivity and specificity. The myocardial uptake of PYP is higher in patients with TTR amyloidosis. Non-invasive tests for the detection of cardiac amyloidosis, like myocardial scintigraphy with bone seeking tracers, can play a major role in the diagnosis progression and therapeutic management of patients with cardiac amyloidosis. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 February 2018.
All research outputs
#14,283,318
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Nuclear Cardiology
#840
of 2,044 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#165,935
of 343,867 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Nuclear Cardiology
#9
of 52 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,044 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 343,867 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 52 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
