Regional distribution and kinetics of [18F]6-flurodopamine as a measure of cardiac sympathetic activity in humans.
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether an increase in cardiac sympathetic activity produced by exercise or sublingual glyceryl trinitrate causes an increased rate of loss of fluorine-18 from the myocardium after intravenous [18F]6-fluorodopamine ([18F]F-DA) in normal volunteers. In addition, to determine the contribution of non-specific uptake of [18F]F-DA in the myocardium in patients with recent heart transplant.
PROTOCOL: [18F]F was prepared by …
