Has Anyone Had A Negative Cardiac Biopsy?

I have so many signs and symptoms of Amyloidosis; from cardiac hypertrophy to ruptured bicep tendon to stiff heart to enlarged tongue, but a negative biopsy. Help??

Cardiac MRI's (with contrast medium) and PYP scans (technetium 99) are very diagnostic when biopsies are negative. Blood work for light chains can diagnose a specific type also.
