Covert Transthyretin Amyloidosis Mimicking Advanced Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Despite Multiple Negative Tc-PYP Radionuclide Scans.

Background: We present the case of a 74-year-old woman diagnosed with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Case Summary: Amyloidosis was initially considered because she was genotype positive in the transthyretin gene. However, because of 2 negative 99m technetium pyrophosphate radionuclide scans, this diagnosis was considered unlikely, and endomyocardial biopsy was deferred.

In two studies, we tested the role of context and multimodal presentation in age differences in emotion perception.
