Whole-Body PET and the BrainHeart Axis: Toward Sex- and Gender-Sensitive Neurocardiovascular Imaging
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease rarely remains confined to a single organ. Even when the initiating event is anatomically focal, as in myocardial infarction (MI), the biologic response rapidly becomes systemic, engaging immune, autonomic, and neurohumoral circuits that extend beyond the injured myocardium.
