Abstract EN
The present study aimed to discuss the role of mitochondrion in cardiac function and disease.
The mitochondrion plays a fundamental role in cellular processes ranging from metabolism to apoptosis.
The mitochondrial-targeted molecular imaging could potentially illustrate changes in global and regional cardiac dysfunction.
The collective changes that occur in mitochondrial-targeted molecular imaging probes have been widely explored and developed.
As probes currently used in the preclinical setting still have a lot of shortcomings, the development of myocardial metabolic activity, viability, perfusion, and blood flow molecular imaging probes holds great potential for accurately evaluating the myocardial viability and functional reserve.
The advantages of molecular imaging provide a perspective on investigating the mitochondrial function of the myocardium in vivo noninvasively and quantitatively.
The molecular imaging tracers of single-photon emission computed tomography and positron emission tomography could give more detailed information on myocardial metabolism and restoration.
In this study, series mitochondrial-targeted 99mTc-, 123I-, and 18F-labeled tracers displayed broad applications because they could provide a direct link between mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiac disease.
