Cardiometabolic disorders affect myocardial [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose uptake– impact on diagnostic PET/CT imaging
Cardiometabolic disorders are associated with lower myocardial [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG uptake. Insulin resistance and several other cardiometabolic risk factors are associated with attenuated uptake, especially in men. In women, factors reflecting metabolic response to a ketogenic diet and fasting have a more pronounced effect on myocardial [<sup>18</sup>F]FDG uptake.
