The utility of positron emission tomography in cardiology currently goes beyond the ischemic heart disease and covers an increasingly wider range of non-coronary pathology, which requires timely expert diagnostics, including chronic heart disease of any etiology, valvular and electrophysiology disorders, cardiooncology. Authors emphasize the importance of the development of positron emission tomography technologies in the Russian Federation. This includes the development and implementation of new radiopharmaceuticals for the diagnosis of pathological processes of the cardiovascular system, systemic and local inflammation, including atherosclerosis, impaired perfusion and myocardial metabolism, and also for solving specific diagnostic tasks in comorbid pathology.
