Ischemic Memory Imaging in Nonhuman Primates with Echocardiographic Molecular Imaging of Selectin Expression

In primates, MCE molecular imaging of selectins using MB-YSPSL, a recombinant ligand appropriate for humans, is both safe and effective for imaging recent myocardial ischemia. This technique may be useful for detecting recent ischemia in patients with chest pain even in the absence of necrosis.
