Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is widely used in cancer care, but its role in assessing cardiotoxicity remains uncertain. Understanding how cardiovascular risk factors influence myocardial glucose uptake may improve its application in this setting. OBJECTIVE: To investigate associations between cardiac metabolic patterns on oncologic PET/CT...
