Novel PET imaging approach detects heart damage in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy
A new PET/CT imaging technique that visualizes activated fibroblasts in the heart muscle enables early detection of multiple forms of cardiomyopathy, according to research presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2025 Annual Meeting. By targeting fibroblast activation—an early indicator of myocardial fibrosis—this method provides valuable insights into disease progression and helps improve risk stratification for patien…
Ottawa researchers find better way to image the heart
OTTAWA — A new way to image the heart is making it easier to detect coronary artery disease — and the research behind it has earned international recognition for an Ottawa physicist. Rob deKemp (pictured), PhD, MASNC, head imaging physicist in the Department of Cardiac Imaging at the Ottawa Heart Institute, led a study that was awarded Abstract of the Year at the 2025 Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting in Ne…
A research team from the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (Idibell) of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) has for the first time generated a piece of myocardial tissue through 3D bioprinting that can grow and survive in an animal model. Researchers have managed to create a patch with layers of biotinta and small blood vessels that integrate with the circulatory system of the host, as they have explained themselves in a meeting with the…
