False‐positive bone scintigraphy denoting transthyretin amyloid in elderly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
A positive nuclear scintigraphy with hydroxy bisphosphonate bone tracer (99mTc‐HPD) is believed to have high sensitivity (>99%) and specificity (91%) for the diagnosis of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy. We report the case of an 85‐year‐old man with increased thickness of ventricular walls a...
