Emergence of targeted molecular imaging in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Abstract excerpt

Atherosclerosis, a systemic disease, remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Our improved understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying atherosclerotic lesion progression and sudden transformation into unstable plaques, indicate complex interactions of lipid metabolism, inflammatory processes and genetic predisposition. Currently, novel imaging approaches to visualize the...
