尽管采取了一级和二级预防,但不稳定心绞痛或心肌梗塞等严重心血管事件仍占全球死亡人数的三分之一。因此,识别具有斑块破裂高风险的易损斑块的个体患者是心血管医学的核心挑战。目前正在测试几种非侵入性技术,例如 MRI、多层计算机断层扫描和电子束断层扫描,以确定其通过形态学标准识别此类患者的能力。相比之下,分子成像技术使用放射性标记分子通过可视化其生物活性来检​​测动脉粥样硬化斑块的功能方面。基于对动脉粥样硬化病理生理学的了解,各种体外、体内研究和首次临床试验已使用不同的示踪剂进行斑块成像研究,包括放射性标记的脂蛋白、凝血系统的成分、细胞因子、金属蛋白酶系统的介质、细胞粘附受体甚至全细胞。本综述提供了使用核成像技术检测动脉粥样硬化血管病变的相关非侵入性斑块成像方法的最新信息。
Despite primary and secondary prevention, serious cardiovascular events like unstable angina or myocardial infarction still account for one third of all deaths worldwide. Therefore, identifying individual patients with vulnerable plaques at high risk for plaque rupture is a central challenge in cardiovascular medicine. Several non-invasive techniques, such as MRI, multislice computed tomography and electron beam tomography are currently being tested for their ability to identify such patients by morphological criteria. In contrast, molecular imaging techniques use radiolabeled molecules to detect functional aspects in atherosclerotic plaques by visualizing its biological activity. Based upon the knowledge about the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, various studies in vitro, in vivo and the first clinical trials have used different tracers for plaque imaging studies, including radioactive labelled lipoproteins, components of the coagulation system, cytokines, mediators of the metalloproteinase system, cell adhesion receptors and even whole cells. This review gives an update on the relevant non-invasive plaque imaging approaches using nuclear imaging techniques to detect atherosclerotic vascular lesions.
