2-Year Natural Decline of Cardiac Sympathetic Innervation in Idiopathic Parkinson Disease Studied with 11C-Hydroxyephedrine PET.

Unlabelled: The objective of this study was to detect regional patterns of cardiac sympathetic denervation in idiopathic Parkinson disease (IPD) using C-hydroxyephedrine (C-HED) PET and determine the denervation rate over 2 y.

Methods: We obtained 62 cardiac C-HED PET scans in 39 patients (30 men and 9 women; mean age ± SD, 61.9 ± 5.
