Abstract
An 83-year-old man with multiple myeloma and history of coronary artery disease and ischemic cardiomyopathy experienced cardiac arrest during the 18 F-FDG PET/CT examination. The patient had not yet been treated for multiple myeloma. The PET/CT demonstrated focal FDG uptake about the left anterior descending coronary artery. Diffuse intense FDG uptake in the liver and less than normal uptake in other organs of usual FDG distribution were also present, likely due to altered hemodynamics and heart failure in the setting of an acute coronary syndrome.
