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
Regional myocardial perfusion and glucose metabolism were assessed in six normal volunteers and 29 patients with coronary heart disease and stable or unstable angina using rubidium-82 (Rb-82) and F-18 fluoro 2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) with positron emission tomography. All normals and patients were stu
The dopamine depletion that is characteristic of Parkinson's disease has been hypothesized to result from the combination of environmentally induced subclinical damage to the substantia nigra and the age-related loss of additional nigral neurons. Essential to this hypothesis is the existence of dete
## Abstract ## Objective Abnormal brain findings have previously been described in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) by singleβphotonβemission computed tomography. Our goal was to investigate change in regional cerebral glucose metabolism in people with FMS by positron emission tomography (PET) using ^1
