Abstract

Abstract Radiolabeled long-chain fatty acids have diagnostic value as radiopharmaceutical tools in myocardial imaging. Some applications of these fatty acids are limited due to their natural metabolic degradation in vivo with subsequent washout of the radioactivity from the myocardium. The identification of structural features which will increase the myocardial residence time without decreasing the heart uptake of long-chain fatty acids is of interest. ...
