“…To investigate this, we measured fasting FDG uptake in the hearts of patients with PAH in comparison to healthy control subjects and after 1 year of follow-up, in relation to echocardiographic and clinical parameters of disease, and evaluated whether glycolytic metabolism was associated with HIFactivated effectors. Some of the results of this study have been previously reported in the form of an abstract (13).…”
PAH hearts have pathologic glycolytic metabolism that is quantitatively related to cardiac dysfunction over time, suggesting that metabolic imaging may be useful in therapeutic monitoring of patients.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
