PET may help spot protein clumps in heart disease
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
Using preclinical PET and other techniques, researchers appear to have found a connection between the accumulation of protein clumps and heart failure in mice, according to results published in the May 11 issue of Circulation Research. By visualizing the protein, PET could eventually prove useful for monitoring and treating heart disease in humans, the group believes.
