Ligaments were investigated microscopically for amyloid. ATTR type was determined by immunohistochemistry and fibril type by Western blot. The amount of amyloid was graded 0\u20104. All patients with grade 3\u20104 ATTR deposits were offered cardiac investigation including ECG, cardiac ultrasound, plasma NT\u2010proBNP and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), including modern tissue characterization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Amyloid was identified in 221 of the samples (88.4%).

Twenty\u2010nine of 42 patients with grade 3\u20104 ATTR deposits accepted cardiovascular investigations; none of them had definite signs of cardiac amyloidosis, but five men had a history of carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of ATTR deposits in ligamentum flavum in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis was high but not associated with manifest ATTR cardiac amyloidosis.
