Regional myocardial oxygen consumption estimated by carbon-11 acetate and positron emission tomography before and after repetitive ischemia

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

Preserved myocardial oxygen consumption estimated by carbon 11-acetate and positron emission tomography (PET) in myocardial regions with chronic but reversibly depressed contractile function in patients with ischemic heart disease have been suggested to be caused by repeated short episodes of acute myocardial ischemia. To evaluate this hypothesis myocardial 11C-acetate PET imaging was performed before and after acute repetitive myocardial ischemia.
