Myocardial Fibroblast Activation After Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Study

JACC Podcast - A podcast by American College of Cardiology

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a groundbreaking study by Dr. Anna Barton and her team on myocardial fibroblast activation following acute myocardial infarction. Using advanced imaging techniques, the research uncovers how fibroblast activity plays a critical role in heart remodeling, revealing that fibrosis is dynamic and may offer new therapeutic opportunities for preventing heart failure and improving long-term recovery after heart attacks.
