PROCEDURE

PET (Positron Emission Tomography)

This is a diagnostic scan that requires the injection of radioactive tracer compounds intravenously using an IV placed in the arm.

PROCEDURE

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart. Participants received a complete 2D- and Doppler echocardiographic examination on the day of the PET scan.

RADIATION

^15O-water

This is a radioactive tracer used to study blood flow in the heart during the PET scan. It was administered intravenously at a dose of 20 mCi.

RADIATION

1-^11C-palmitate

This is a radioactive tracer used to study fatty acid usage in the heart during the PET scan. It was administered intravenously at a dose of 20 mCi.

RADIATION

1-^11C-glucose

This is a radioactive tracer used to study glucose usage in the heart during the PET scan. It was administered intravenously at a dose of 20 Mci..
