Abstract
Rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaque that leads to stroke and myocardial infarction may be induced by macrophage infiltration and neovessel formation. A tracer that selectively binds to integrin αvβ3 a protein expressed by macrophages and neovascular endothelium may identify rupture prone plaque.
