Does Androgen Suppression Treatment In Prostate Cancer Reduce Myocardial Blood Flow Reserve?
Treatment group: Prior to the initiation of AST, subjects will have a baseline N-13-ammonia
PET scan and a brachial artery ultrasound at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. Blood
glucose and a lipid profile will be obtained. These tests will be repeated 6 - 9 months
after starting AST.
Cancer control group: The same testing and intervals will be performed. Normals control
group: Baseline testing will be done to establish a normal.
