Background: The noninvasive detection of cardiac amyloid, as well as deposits in other vital organs, is critical for early diagnosis and quantitative disease monitoring. Positron emission tomography is an intrinsically quantitative imaging modality suitable for high-resolution amyloid detection.
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel amyloid-reactive peptide, designated p5+14, labeled with iodine-124 (I), in patients with diverse types of systemic amyloidosis.

Background: Cardiac amyloid quantification could advance early diagnosis of amyloid cardiomyopathy (CMP) and treatment monitoring. However, current imaging tools are based on indirect measurements. I-evuzamitide is a novel pan-amyloid radiotracer binding to amyloid deposits from multiple amyloidogenic proteins.
