Key result
Routine oncological 18F-FDG-PET/CT incidentally detected severe myocardial ischemia and hibernating myocardium in a 69-year-old man due to a 'lipid-shift' and specific coronary uptake pattern.
Case Report (n=1)
Severe myocardial ischemia and hibernating myocardium may be incidentally detected in routine oncological 18F-FDG-PET/CT scans without stress testing due to 'lipid-shift'.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May prompt review of oncologic FDG-PET/CT for coronary uptake; leaves open validation of lipid-shift detection before clinical adoption.
Freitag et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Severe myocardial ischemia (n=1). 18F-FDG-PET/CT was evaluated on Detection of severe myocardial ischemia. Routine oncological 18F-FDG-PET/CT incidentally detected severe myocardial ischemia and hibernating myocardium in a 69-year-old man due to a 'lipid-shift' and specific coronary uptake pattern.
