Objective Maladaptive repair contributes towards the development of heart failure following
myocardial infarction (MI). The αvβ3 integrin receptor is a key mediator and determinant of …

Purpose To assess the feasibility of hybrid imaging of the heart with fluorine 18
fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) on an integrated 3-T positron emission tomography …

Background—The immune system orchestrates the repair of infarcted myocardium. Imaging
of the cellular inflammatory response by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron …

Purpose We evaluated a dimeric RGD-peptide,[68 Ga] DOTA-E-[c (RGDfK)] 2, for positron
emission tomography (PET) imaging of myocardial integrin expression associated with …

Aims The aim of this retrospective analysis was to examine the pattern of cardiac 68 Ga-
fibroblast-activation protein-α inhibitor (FAPI) uptake in patients after acute myocardial …

Abstract Aims F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) myocardial PET imaging is since more than
two decades considered to delineate glucose utilization in dysfunctional but viable …

Objective 68 Ga-NOTA-RGD PET is a newly developed molecular imaging for angiogenesis.
In this study, 68 Ga-NOTA-RGD PET was used to investigate imaging characteristics in a rat …

Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to left ventricular (LV) remodeling, which leads to the
activation of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). However, the …

Background Characterization of tissue integrity and inflammatory processes after acute
myocardial infarction (AMI) using non-invasive imaging is predictive of patient outcome …

Angiogenesis is a key factor for post-ischemic repair of the infarcted myocardium. This study
aims to monitor angiogenesis of infarcted myocardium with a positron emission tomography …
