Research progresses of 68Ga-FAPI PET imaging in cardiovascular diseases
Myocardial fibrosis is closely related to the occurrence and development of various cardiovascular diseases(CVD),in which fibroblast activation protein(FAP)plays key roles.68Ga-FAP inhibitors(FAPI)have high affinity and specificity for FAP,having been gradually applied to cardiovascular PET imaging.The research progresses of 68Ga-FAPI PET imaging in cardiovascular diseases were reviewed in this article.
