We observed a strong inverse relationship between ketosis and patterns of MGU. Longer KD and fasting durations are associated with higher ketosis. However, only KD duration was associated with lower rates of MGU. Measurement of BHB levels before FDG-PET using point-of-care testing is feasible and may facilitate the management of patients referred for myocardial inflammation.
