Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men or Women at least 18 years of age inclusive
  • Patients with acute coronary syndromes or unstable angina pectoris
  • Hypertension or blood pressure more than 140/90mmHg
  • FDG PET/CT shows at least 1 hot uptakes at carotid and or ascending aorta
  • The patient or guardian agrees to the study protocol and the schedule of clinical and FDG PET/CT follow-up, and provides informed, written consent, as approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board/Ethical Committee of the respective clinical site.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients treated with carotid endarterectomy or stent placement
  • Chronic disease requiring treatment with oral, intravenous, or intra-articular corticosteroids (use of topical, inhaled, or nasal corticosteroids is permissible).
  • Untreated hyperthyroidism, or hypothyroidism
  • Any clinically significant abnormality identified at the screening visit, physical examination, laboratory tests, or electrocardiogram which, in the judgment of the Investigator, would preclude safe completion of the study.
  • Evidence of congestive heart failure, or left ventricular ejection fraction < 40%.
  • Significant renal disease manifested by serum creatinine > 2.0mg/dL, or creatinine clearance of < 40 ml/min (by Cockcroft-Gault method).
  • Hepatic disease or biliary tract obstruction, or significant hepatic enzyme elevation (ALT or AST > 3 times upper limit of normal).
  • History of adult asthma manifested by bronchospasm in the past 6 months, or currently taking regular anti-asthmatic medication(s).
  • Unwillingness or inability to comply with the procedures described in this protocol.
