Background-Although both I-123-metaiodobenzylguanidine (I-123-MIBG) imaging and C-11-hydroxyephedrine (C-11-HED) positron emission tomography (PET) are used for assessing cardiac sympathetic innervation, their relationship remains unknown. The aims were to determine whether I-123-MIBG parameters such as heart-to-mediastinum ratio (H/M) are associated with quantitative measures by C-11-HED PET and to compare image quality, defect size, and location between I-123-MIBG single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and C-11-HED PET.Methods and Results-Twenty-one patients (mean left ventricular ejection fraction, 39 +/- 15%) underwent I-123-MIBG imaging and C-11-HED PET. Early (15-minute), late (3-hour) H/M, and washout rate (WR) were calculated for I-123-MIBG. Myocardial retention and WR was calculated for C-11-HED. Using a polar map approach, defect was defined as the area with relative activity
