Flurpiridaz is a positron emission tomography (PET) myocardial perfusion imaging tracer. Flurpiridaz can bind to mitochondrial complex I with high affinity. Flurpiridaz demonstrates high heart uptake in multiple species with clear delineation of perfusion deficits. Flurpiridaz shows rapid uptake in the myocardium. Flurpiridaz can be studied in research on coronary artery disease [1] [2].
