A 28-year-old woman presented with atypical chest pain and long-standing upper limb claudication. She had no cardiovascular risk factors. Radial and brachial pulses were absent and blood pressure un-recordable. Investigation...
Abstract: Purpose of Review: To examine the use of positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging post-infarct myocardial inflammation and repair. Recent Findings: Dysregulated immune responses after myocardial infarction are...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To examine the use of positron emission tomography (PET) for imaging post-infarct myocardial inflammation and repair. RECENT FINDINGS: Dysregulated immune responses after myocardial infarction are associated...
INTRODUCTION: The role of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in the determination of inflammation in arterial disease is not well defined. This can provide information about arterial wall inflammation in...
Many cardiovascular drugs in the pipeline will fail to demonstrate a clear clinical benefit when evaluated in large-scale clinical outcome trials; which are costly, require lengthy follow-up, and can potentially expose patients...
The Dr. Jason Silverman Scholarship was announced March 11 at the Palmer Lecture, an event held for Silverman to showcase his latest Lincoln research that he conducted alongside students. Already $20,000 has been raised toward...
Abstract: Purpose of Review: To provide a focused update on recent advances in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in vascular inflammatory diseases and consider future directions in the field. Recent Findings: While PET...

Recent advances in imaging technology have enabled us to utilise a range of diagnostic approaches to better characterise high-risk atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this article is to review current and emerging techniques used...
CLINICAL INTRODUCTION: A 57-year-old woman presented to our clinic with breathlessness brought on while walking uphill. She had been recently diagnosed with systemic hypertension. There was no known family history of cardiac...

PET imaging is able to harness biological processes to characterise high-risk features of atherosclerotic plaque prone to rupture. Current radiotracers are able to track inflammation, microcalcification, hypoxia, and...
Background: Atherosclerosis is a systemic inflammatory disease, with common inflammatory processes implicated in both atheroma vulnerability and blood-brain barrier disruption. This prospective multimodal imaging study aimed to...

A 38-year-old man presented with exertional dyspnea and dizziness. Six months earlier, he had attended the Emergency Department following a brief syncopal episode while exercising. There were no constitutional symptoms, and no...
