Imaging of cardiac fibroblast activation in a patient after acute myocardial infarction using 68Ga-FAPI-04

Susan Notohamiprodjo et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the feasibility of noninvasive imaging of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) expression after myocardial infarction (MI) using Ga-68-FAPI-04-PET, and showed that Ga-68-FAPI-04 uptake extends beyond the actual infarcted area in the infarct territory. Follow-up CMR confirmed the overestimation of the infarct size by Ga-68-FAPI-04 uptake.

Properties and Functions of Fibroblasts and Myofibroblasts in Myocardial Infarction

Harikrishnan Venugopal et al.

Summary: This review discusses the mechanisms, roles, and fate of fibroblasts in the infarcted heart. Following a myocardial infarction, fibroblasts undergo phenotypic transitions and contribute to inflammatory, reparative, and angiogenic responses. They form collagen-based scars to protect the infarcted ventricle and may also stimulate angiogenesis. Prolonged activation of fibroblasts may contribute to adverse remodeling and heart failure.

Left Ventricular Remodeling after Myocardial Infarction: From Physiopathology to Treatment

Sabina Andreea Leanca et al.

Summary: Myocardial infarction is the most common cause of death and morbidity worldwide. It is mainly caused by thrombotic occlusion in the coronary circulation. Current therapies aim to restore coronary flow and counteract neurohormonal activation, but myocardial ischemia still leads to left ventricular remodeling and eventually heart failure.

Comparison of PET imaging of activated fibroblasts and 18F-FDG for diagnosis of primary hepatic tumours: a prospective pilot study

Ximin Shi et al.

Summary: This study compared the performance of Ga-68-labelled fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (FAPI) PET and F-18-FDG PET for imaging of hepatic tumours, finding that Ga-68-FAPI PET-CT has superior potential in the detection of primary hepatic malignancy compared to F-18-FDG.

Cardiac fibroblast activation detected by Ga-68 FAPI PET imaging as a potential novel biomarker of cardiac injury/remodeling

J. Siebermair et al.

Summary: This study investigated myocardial FAPI uptake in patients undergoing Ga-68 FAPI PET. Results showed an association between myocardial tracer accumulation and coronary artery disease, age, and left ventricular ejection fraction. Further research is needed to evaluate the reliability of measuring fibroblast activation and its potential use for risk stratification in CAD and left ventricular remodeling.

Visualization of Fibroblast Activation After Myocardial Infarction Using 68Ga-FAPI PET

Lukas Kessler et al.

Summary: This retrospective analysis examined cardiac Ga-68-fibroblast-activation protein-alpha inhibitor (FAPI) uptake in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) using PET, correlating FAPI uptake with biomarkers of myocardial damage and left ventricular function. The study found a strong correlation between fibroblast activation volume (FAV) and peak creatine kinase level, as well as an inverse correlation of FAV with left ventricular function. The imaging modality provided important insights into structural remodeling mechanisms after AMI at an early stage.
