THE MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION FRACTION IS SUPERIOR TO THE VOLTAGE TO MASS RATIO FOR IDENTIFYING TTR CARDIAC AMYLOID IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING TAVR

THE MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION FRACTION IS SUPERIOR TO THE VOLTAGE TO MASS RATIO FOR IDENTIFYING TTR CARDIAC AMYLOID IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING TAVR

Myocardial uptake was assessed by both semi-quantitative visual score (range 0: no uptake to 3: uptake greater than bone) and quantitative analysis by drawing a region of interest over the heart, mirroring it to the contralateral chest, and calculating a heart-to-contralateral ratio (HCL).
