Abstract

Background and Aims : At the core of atherosclerosis lies a process of chronic inflammation. With new anti-inflammatory therapeutics entering the field of research, accurate surrogate markers to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular events are paramount. 68Ga-DOTATATE has recently been proposed as a more specific marker of arterial wall inflammation than the metabolic marker 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG). Here, we set out to investigate whether 68Ga-DOTATATE uptake is amenable to therapeutic intervention in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2).
