Myocardial ¹⁸F-FDG Uptake After Exercise-Induced Myocardial Ischemia in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract

Exercise-induced regional myocardial (18)F-FDG uptake is highly specific and sensitive for exercise-induced myocardial ischemia. Regional myocardial (18)F-FDG uptake may persist 24 h after an episode of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia in some patients.
