Abstract
The technology relates to a method for detecting high-risk unstable atherosclerotic plaque in a subject, the method comprising: a) administering to the subject a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent capable of being activated by myeloperoxidase (MPO) in atherosclerotic plaque; b) allowing the contrast agent to be activated by myeloperoxidase in atherosclerotic plaque; c) obtaining an image of the atherosclerotic plaque from the subject using such molecular MRI, wherein enhanced imaging is indicative of unstable plaque. In some embodiments an MPO inhibitor is administered to a subject identified as having a high-risk unstable atherosclerotic plaque.
