This article examines the literature from the last 3 years to highlight the additional role 18F-FDG-PET/CT can contribute to an accurate diagnosis of cardiac infections and associated infectious complications. The challenges and pitfalls associated with 18F-FDG-PET/CT in such clinical settings must be recognized and these are discussed along with the suggested protocols that may be incorporated in an attempt to address these issues.
