Heart PET Scans: A Breakthrough Predictor of Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Dementia Years Before Symptoms
A biomarker of norepinephrine deficiency in the heart may help to detect Lewy body diseases before symptoms appear. In a small study, researchers at the National Institutes of Health have found that positron emission tomography (PET) scans of the heart may identify people who will go on to develo
