Use of PET/CT to detect myocardial inflammation and the risk of malignant arrhythmia in chronic Chagas disease
Conclusion18F-FDG and68Ga-DOTATOC uptake on PET/CT may be useful for the detection of myocardial inflammation in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy, and68Ga-DOTATOC uptake may be associated with the presence of malignant arrhythmia, with potential therapeutic implications.
