In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The adaptive immune response plays an important role in myocardial healing and remodeling after acute myocardial infarction in patients. Therefore, the involved lymphocytes represent a novel target for therapeutic interventions. However, there are no established blood-derived biomarkers to predict the quantity and quality of the adaptive immune response to cardiac injury. Multimodal imaging of the heart and immunologic organs might provide such information. Recent retrospective analysis of patients after MI revealed enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes associated with increased CXCR4 radiotracer accumulation, thereby indicating that CXCR4 PET-based lymph node imaging provides a non-invasive quantitative readout of the local adaptive immune response. These considerations are further fuelled by the fact that, within lymph nodes, CXCR4 is expressed almost exclusively on lymphocytes, whereas va
