Photoacoustic & Ultrasound Imaging Reveal Cholesterol Independent Vascular Effects

Full title: Photoacoustic and Ultrasound Imaging Reveal Cholesterol-Independent Vascular Effects of PCSK9 Inhibition in Murine Vein Grafts In this session, we’ll explore how advanced photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging techniques are shedding light on the vascular effects of PCSK9 inhibition—beyond cholesterol regulation. Presenter: Margreet R. de Vries, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Surgery, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands; Einthoven Laboratory for Experimental Vascular Medicine, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands Department of Cardiology, Brigham Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA Key highlights include: Cholesterol-independent vascular effects: Discover how PCSK9 inhibition influences endothelial function, inflammation, and remodeling. Quantitative imaging insights: See how imaging reveals neovessel maturation and reduced intraplaque hemorrhage. Integrated imaging approaches: Learn how photoacoustic–ultrasound imaging enables non-invasive assessment of vascular composition, angiogenesis, and plaque stability. --------- For more information on our products, please visit https://www.visualsonics.com.
