Attenuation of Apoptosis by Telmisartan in Atherosclerotic Plaques of Apolipoprotein E Mice: Evaluation Using Technetium 99m–Annexin A5

Technetium 99m ( 99m Tc)–annexin A5, a marker of ongoing apoptosis, is supposed to be useful in the detection of metabolically active atheroma. The aim of this study was to determine the potential of 99m Tc–annexin A5 for evaluating the therapeutic effects of an angiotensin II receptor type 1 blocke...
