Why the study?
Does combined FDG PET and Tl SPECT predict future cardiac events in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy?
Does combined FDG PET and Tl SPECT predict future cardiac events in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy?
Impaired myocardial glucose metabolism assessed by FDG PET is a powerful predictor of future cardiac events in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
