Update Research of 18F-MFBG Novel Positron Cardiac Sympathetic Imaging Agent
The autonomic nervous system plays a vital role in regulating cardiovascular function,complete innervation is the basis of normal cardiovascular function.Changes in the cardiac nervous system usually occur before clinical symptoms.Cardiac sympathetic imaging can directly display the integrity and functional status of the cardiac sympathetic nerve and is a sensitive index to evaluate cardiac sympathetic nerve function.It can sensitively reflect the integrity of cardiac autonomic nerve function and the secretory function and activity of neurons.It has significant clinical value for early diagnosis and timely heart disease intervention.In recent years,18F-MFBG novel positron cardiac sympathetic imaging agent has developed rapidly and has good potential application prospects.This article reviews the latest research progress on this agent.
