Experimental study on “ischemic memory” of myocardium with different ischemic degrees by 18 F-FDG PET/CT

ConclusionsUnder feeding, recent myocardial ischemia could be diagnosed by18F-FDG PET/CT. Under feeding, “ischemic memory” time window for short and intermediate-myocardial ischemia was at least 48 h and for long ischemia was at least 72 h. This study suggested that as the degree of myocardial ischemia increased, “ischemic memory” time window also extended.
