Summary
This early-phase study tested a new radioactive tracer called 68Ga-Galmydar for PET scans of the heart. The goal was to see if it can help doctors better detect reduced blood flow in people with coronary artery disease. Fifteen adults, including some with known heart disease and healthy volunteers, took part. The study focused on how well the tracer highlights areas of the heart muscle and whether it can measure blood flow during rest and stress.
