    PET examination can provide a reference for the diagnosis of heart disease. PET/CT can be used to evaluate myocardial viability and evaluation of cardiac surgery through myocardial FDGPET imaging; judgment of the severity of coronary heart disease; prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy; early diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
