Survey on practice during work-up of Cardiac Amyloidosis

Aim: Brief survey about how colleagues in Switzerland would address a cardiac biopsy in patients with a definite PYP/DPD scan who also had hematologic abnormalities, through 5 questions. To be answered even if you do not consider attending the conference.

The main aim of the survey is to see if there is a range of responses, or whether most people think alike. There is no wrong of right answer.

Submission of response by the end of October 2024.

Since we are interested in regional differences in Switzerland, we would appreciate if you included the hospital where you are practicing. The responses will remain strictly confidential.

For all questions, please assume a setting of 75-80-year-old male with exertional dyspnoea, elevated cardiac biomarkers and amyloid-compatible echocardiographic or MRI study, who has a good quality PYP scan (with SPECT or SPECT-CT) that clearly has grade 2-3 myocardial isotope uptake. Please also assume no evidence of major organ involvement other than the heart, and that fat pad biopsy has been done and is negative for amyloid deposits.
