Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), is a heart muscle disease that's stops the heart muscle working properly. With an ageing population, it is increasingly common but untreated, it has a poor prognosis. Several novel expensive treatments have become available, although we do not understand exactly how they work and why some patients respond, and others do not. The challenge is to develop better methods for monitoring the effects of these treatments, maximizing their benefits and cost-effectiveness. In I-CARE we aim to bring a new imaging technique, named 18F-fluoride PET, to the clinic and thereby improve the care of patients with ATTR-CM. Hypotheses:

Optimise 18F-fluoride PET imaging of ATTR-CM with increased myocardial tissue to background ratio (TBR) uptake values to provide a state-of-the-art imaging modality for use in the other work packages. (n=15, ATTR-CM subjects)
Establish the optimised 18F-fluoride TBR threshold that best differentiates ATTR-CM (n=100) from phenocopies (subjects with light chain amyloidosis, n=20 and subjects with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, n=20).
In vivo calibration of 18F-fluoride PET as a marker of the myocardial ATTR burden, calibrating optimised TBR values against the current imaging standard cardiac magnetic resonance imaging extracellular volume. (Subjects with ATTR-CM, n=100)
Establish ability of 18F-fluoride PET to track disease progression and treatment response in ATTR-CM at one year follow up. (Subjects with ATTR-CM, n=100)
Positron emission tomography using 18F-fluoride as a tracer

At the time of publication of the results in a peer-reviewed manuscript, the minimal data set underlying the findings will be made publicly available, either as part of the submission or through a stable, public repository such as EASY (DANS), DataverseNL or Zenodo. The "minimal data set" consists of the data set used to reach the conclusions drawn in the manuscript with related metadata and methods, and any additional data required to replicate the reported study findings in their entirety, including the values behind the means, standard deviations, and other measures reported, the values used to build graphs, and the points extracted from images for analysis. To obtain access to the full data set, a research proposal and analysis plan has to be submitted.
