Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with a maximal end-diastolic wall thickness up to 16\u2005mm was detected on echocardiography. Speckle-tracking analysis revealed a reduced longitudinal strain of left ventricle with a relative apical sparing pattern. Although the absence of monoclonal gammopathy, a grade 3 myocardial uptake in 99mTc-PYP cardiac scintigraphy, and negative TTR gene mutation inferred the diagnosis of wild-type ATTR, the relative youth of the patient still raised concerns regarding the diagnosis. Under clinical doubt, he underwent further testing. In non-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with native T1 mapping, the native T1 myocardial value was within the normal range. In endomyocardial biopsy (EMB), there was no evidence of amyloid deposition, negative Congo red staining, and no immunohistochemical evidence of transthyretin expression. These results excluded the diagnosis of ATTR cardiomyopathy and prevented subsequent unnecessary treatments.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>When patients with unexplained LVH meet the non-invasive diagnostic criteria for ATTR cardiomyopathy, an EMB should be considered in selected cases.

another diagnosis and require further CMR or EMB to confirm.<\/jats:p>\n
