ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods and kits for detecting cardiovascular disease in a living mammal, using a labeled form of a somatostatin analog. The methods and kits of the invention provide early detection of atherosclerotic plaque, in particular, unstable atherosclerotic plaque, thus allowing therapeutic intervention prior to acute and potentially fatal incidents of cardiovascular disease.
