Effects of oral fatty acid on left ventricular 2-[18F] Fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose uptake during whole body positron emission and computed tomography
Background: There are two main myocardial metabolic pathways including glucose oxidative pathway and free fatty acid (FFA) oxidative pathway. FFA is the major source of energy for the heart, generating 60% to 90% of energy while glucose metabolism produces the rest 10% to 40% of energy depending on...
