Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease involved in plaque rupture, stroke,
thrombosis, and heart attack (myocardial infarction), which is a leading cause of sudden …

Cardiovascular imaging has largely focused on identifying structural, functional, and
metabolic changes in the heart. The ability to reliably assess disease activity would have …

Purpose The expression of chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) was found co-localized with
macrophages on the atherosclerotic vessel wall and participated in the initial emigration of …

CXC motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is expressed on the surface of various cell types
involved in atherosclerosis, with a particularly rich receptor expression on macrophages and …

As the complications of atherosclerosis such as myocardial infarction and stroke are still one
of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, the development of new diagnostic tools for the …

Background MRI and fluorine 18–labeled sodium fluoride (18F-NaF) PET can be used to
identify features of plaque instability, rupture, and disease activity, but large studies have not …

Purpose Type 4 chemokine receptor (CXCR4) plays an important role in immune cell
migration during the atherosclerosis progression. We aimed to evaluate [68 Ga] Pentixafor …

This article provides a collaborative perspective of the discussions and conclusions from the
