“…Under resting condition (low serum-glucose and insulin levels), myocardium primarily uses free-fatty acids owing to its higher energy yield; however, in ischemic states, myocardium shifts to glycolytic pathway for more efficient energy production. Oncologic 18 F-FDG PET/CT imaging often reveals variable patterns of myocardium FDG uptake ranging from no significant, diffuse, and focal/regional 1–4 . However, regional uptake in the myocardium may represent ischemic myocardium, particularly in regions other than basal anterolateral and basal inferolateral segments as in the present case 5–8 .…”
