Assessment of coronary vascular function with cardiac PET in relation to serum uric acid.

Assessment of coronary vascular function with cardiac PET in relation to serum uric acid.

BACKGROUND:Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels have been independently associated with cardiovascular disease. Stress myocardial perfusion positron emission tomography (PET) allows for measurement of absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) and quantification of global left ventricular coronary flow r...
