Association of glucose uptake of visceral fat and acute myocardial infarction: a pilot 18F-FDG PET/CT study
Abstract Background Inflamed visceral adipose tissue (VAT) facilitates chronic inflammation in atherosclerotic lesions thereby leading to increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). In this study, we evaluated the glucose uptake of VAT and the carotid artery with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron...
