Abstract

Abstract: Myocardial fibrosis is a common pathological basis of many cardiovascular diseases and is closely related to poor prognosis of the cardiac disease. At present,there are limitations in clinical evaluation techniques for myocardial fibrosis,such as being invasive,lacking specificity,and unable to diagnose early. In recent years,nuclide imaging targeting activated fibroblasts has received attention for its potential in detecting myocardial fibrosis and in evaluating disease progression and treatment response. Based on the existing studies,the present paper focuses on its application status,advantages and limitations,and discusses its prospects in cardiovascular diseases,aiming to provide reference and inspiration to promote the application of targeted activated fibroblast radionuclide imaging in cardiovascular diseases.

Key words: cardiovascular diseases, fibroblast activation protein inhibitor, myocardial fibrosis, molecular imaging
