Heart | |
ECG | Normal or low ECG voltagea often discrepant from ECHO findings, pseudo-infarct pattern, atrioventricular block, bundle branch block |
ECHO | Increased left and/or right ventricular wall thickness, increased atrial septal thickness, impaired longitudinal strain, apical sparing pattern by longitudinal strain, thickened valve leaflets, increased LV filling pressures, pericardial effusion |
CMR | Increased biventricular wall thickness, increased LV mass, diffuse subendocardial or transmural late gadolinium enhancement, increased native noncontrast T1 and ECV |
99mTc bone scintigraphy (DPD/PYP/HMDP) | Grade 2/3 myocardial uptake; note, this test should always be ordered with serum FLC/serum and urine immunofixation electrophoresis to rule out the presence of a monoclonal protein. If any of these are abnormal, endomyocardial biopsy with typing of amyloid fibril may be necessary for an accurate diagnosis |
Serum cardiac biomarkers | Increased BNP or NT-proBNP levels, increased troponin T or troponin I levels |
Peripheral nerves | |
Nerve conduction study | Axonal sensorimotor neuropathy, CTS |
Neuro MRI | Swelling of dorsal ganglia |
Autonomic nerves | |
Schellong test | Neurologic orthostatic hypotension |
CVRR | Decreased CVRR |
Sweat test Laser Doppler flowmetry | Anhidrosis, hypohidrosis |
