Background. The relationship between myocardial metabolic changes and the severity of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is largely unknown. We characterized metabolic abnormalities in patients with a genetically identical cause for HCM but with vari
## Objective: The 2-[(18)f]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-positron emission tomography (fdg-pet) technique provides information on uptake and metabolism of glucose in various tissues. compared with resting cells, activated lymphocytes take up radioactively labeled glucose analog at a higher rate, which
