Fibrosis in Chronic and Delayed Myocardial Infarction
Conditions: Aortic Stenosis, Chemotherapy Induced Systolic Dysfunction, Carcinoid Syndrome
Sex: All
Ages: 40 Years – 90 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Enrollment: 50
Sponsor: University of Edinburgh
Location: University of Edinburgh Edinburgh Scotland
Summary
In this study the investigators aim to examine the role that fibrosis plays in heart conditions such as aortic stenosis , chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity and carcinoid syndrome . Fibrosis is a common final result following any injury to the heart muscle and the investigators aim to identify this process early and in its active state. This will be examined by using a radiotracer 68Ga-FAPI or 18F-AlF-FAPI and PET-MRI or PET-CT.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Cohort 1(Aortic stenosis):
