title: Analysis of Myocardial (18)F-FDG Uptake by PET/CT in the Patients with Different Dialectically Classified Coronary Heart Diseases (CHD).
abstract: To quantify myocardial glucose metabolism by (18)F-FDG PET/CT in patients that have coronary heart disease (CHD) according to traditional Chinese medicine classification. Ninety patients with CHD were enrolled and were categorized into three groups. All patients underwent PET-CT examination for (18)F-FDG uptake quantification. In group A, the radioactive signals were weak in multiple segments in 27 cases (90 %). One case had no visualization and two had normal visualization (mean SUV = 4 ± 0.6). In group B, the radioactive signals were in some local areas in eight cases (26.7 %). Twenty cases had an overall increase in signal density (SUV ≥ 8) (66.7 %). One case had no visualization, and one case had normal visualization (mean SUV 4 ± 0.6). In group C, 23 cases had no visual or a weak visual (SUV ≤ 2 ± 0.3) (76.7 %). Seven cases had segmental weak signals or signal defects. Different types of CHD demonstrate different metabolisms of myocardium glucose. It is necessary to dialectically classify CHD and apply differential treatment.
