Abstract
Disorders in cardiac autonomic function have been implicated in several cardiac diseases. Use of positron emission tomography (PET)-based radiotracers to quantify changes in cardiac autonomic innervation has provided insights into the effect and impact of these alterations on disease pathophysiology and long-term implications. Understanding the use of different radiotracers to evaluate autonomic innervation requires an understanding of the biochemical components of the cardiac autonomic system (Fig. 5.1).
