Key result
Diabetes mellitus was associated with significantly reduced myocardial glucose uptake compared to normal fasting glucose (SUVmean 1.94 vs 3.42).

Is diabetes mellitus associated with reduced myocardial glucose uptake on 18F-FDG PET/CT?
Absolute Event Rate: 1.94% vs 3.42%
p-value: p=0.01
Whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT demonstrates that diabetes is associated with decreased myocardial glucose metabolism, driven by factors like insulin resistance and NAFLD.
Hu et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Diabetes mellitus (n=191). Diabetes mellitus vs. Normal fasting glucose and impaired fasting glucose was evaluated on Myocardial 18F-FDG standard uptake value (SUVmean) (p=0.01). Diabetes mellitus was associated with significantly reduced myocardial glucose uptake compared to normal fasting glucose (SUVmean 1.94 vs 3.42).
