The beta-adrenoceptor (beta-AR) plays an important role in heart failure. Recently, the new tracer (S)-[11C]CGP12388 has been developed. It displays excellent properties for investigation of the cardiac beta-ARs in vivo with positron emission tomography (PET). Furthermore, the simple production method allows its use in a routine clinical setting. The aim of this study was to investigate whether decreased myocardial beta-AR density in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) can be estimated using (S)-[11C]CGP12388 PET.
