The aim of this study was to investigate the regional distribution of novel 18 F-labeled positron emission tomographic (PET) tracer flubrobenguane (FBBG) (whose longer half-life could enable more widespread use) to assess myocardial presynaptic sympathetic nerve function in humans in comparison to [ 11 C]meta-hydroxyephedrine (HED).
