Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CM) is an infiltrative cardiomyopathy caused by amyloid fibril deposition, leading to heart failure and arrhythmias. Despite advances in diagnosis, the disease remains commonly unrecognized and presents heterogeneously. Recent therapies targeting transthyretin stabilization and gene silencing have improved outcomes, but current staging systems based on biological and functional markers have limited ability to guide treatment.
Imaging techniques such as cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provide tissue characterization, but noninvasive molecular imaging of myocardial fibrotic activity remains limited. Positron emission tomography (PET) tracers targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAPI), labeled with gallium-68 (68Ga), offer a promising approach to detect and quantify fibroblast activity associated with myocardial remodeling.
This study aims to evaluate [68Ga]Ga-FAPI PET imaging for staging ATTR-CM and distinguishing patients with disease progression under therapy. The investigators hypothesize that [68Ga]Ga-FAPI uptake reflects fibrotic activity correlating with disease severity and progression. If validated, [68Ga]Ga-FAPI PET could serve as a novel biomarker for improved staging and personalized strategies in ATTR-CM.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
[68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET acquisition at approximatively 40 min after the injection over 20-45 minutes. The PET imaging will be associated with either MRI or CT at the investigator's discretion.
Time frame: within 30 days
Comparison of quantitative evaluation of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 cardiac uptake (SUV (Standard Uptake Value) Ratio : left ventricular myocardial SUV to blood pool SUV) among the different Columbia ATTR-CM stages (1-3 points ; 4-6 points ; 7-9 points) in order to characterize the contribution of [68Ga]Ga-FAPI-46 PET imaging in evaluating the severity of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
