Abstract

There is high interest to PET in modern cardiology caused by efficiency of a method in differential diagnostics of a healthy and damaged tissue, high sensitivity and specificity in revealing of subclinical focal changes. PET is used successfully for an estimation of an aerobic metabolism of fat acids, an anaerobic metabolism of glucose and an oxidative metabolism.
