Does ASA attenuate 18F-FDG uptake in the remote lateral myocardium in patients with HOCM?
In patients with HOCM, abnormal myocardial glucose metabolism extends beyond hypertrophied regions and can be attenuated by ASA.
Extensive 18F-FDG uptake beyond the hypertrophied myocardium was observed in HOCM. ASA attenuates 18F-FDG uptake in a remote lateral myocardium.
Aoyama et al. (Mon,) studied this question.
