Characterizing the inflammatory tissue response to acute myocardial infarction by clinical multimodality noninvasive imaging.
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers a systemic inflammatory response which determines subsequent healing. Experimentally, cardiac positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have been used successfully to obtain mechanistic insights. We explored the translational potential in patients early after MI. METHODS AND RESULTS Positron emission tomography/computed tomograp...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging of the Chemokine Receptor CXCR4 After Acute Myocardial Infarction.
OBJECTIVES An assay for molecular imaging of myocardial CXCR4 expression was evaluated, in order to obtain mechanistic insights noninvasively based on quantitative positron emission tomography (PET). BACKGROUND The chemokine receptor CXCR4 has emerged as a therapeutic target after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), because of its role in inflammatory and progenitor cell recruitment. METHODS...
متن کاملTargeting Amino Acid Metabolism for Molecular Imaging of Inflammation Early After Myocardial Infarction
Acute tissue inflammation after myocardial infarction influences healing and remodeling and has been identified as a target for novel therapies. Molecular imaging holds promise for guidance of such therapies. The amino acid (11)C-methionine is a clinically approved agent which is thought to accumulate in macrophages, but not in healthy myocytes. We assessed the suitability of positron emission ...
متن کاملTranslation of Methdology used in Human Myocardial Imaging to a Sheep Model of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Background: Pre-clinical investigation of stem cells for repairing damaged myocardium predominantly used rodents, however large animals have cardiac circulation closely resembling the human heart. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether SPECT/CT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) could be used for assessing sheep myocardium following an acute myocardial infarction (MI) and response to int...
متن کاملImaging of Myocardial Inflammation Post ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
The treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) has focused heavily on early reperfusion of the infarct-related artery. However, the inflammatory processes in the infarct that occur shortly after MI and govern wound healing in the heart have not been targeted therapeutically. Perhaps this has resulted from our inability to visualize these processes. In contrast to coronary angiography, which has cl...
