While much progress has been made in imaging inflammation in ischemic heart disease over the past five years, additional studies in larger cohorts with histological validation and outcome correlation are needed. Nevertheless, imaging inflammation using PET or MRI has the potential to become an important adjunct tool to improve the diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic monitoring of patients with ischemic heart disease.
