Patients Undergo First Doses of New Cardiac PET tracer

DAIC

CAD is the most common form of heart disease and remains the leading cause of death for men and women in the US, with 371,506 deaths reported in 2022 [1]. We are committed to growing the manufacturing footprint for Flyrcado to drive access for cardiac PET-enabled imaging centers throughout the US. National Center for Health Statistics.

Flavin-containing monooxygenase 2 confers cardioprotection in ischemia models through its disulfide bond catalytic activity

Journal of Clinical Investigation - Cardiology

Myocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by massive cardiomyocyte (CM) death and cardiac dysfunction, and effective therapies to achieve cardioprotection are greatly needed. Here, we report that flavin-containing monooxygenase 2 (FMO2) levels were markedly increased in CMs in both ex vivo and in vivo models of ischemic injury.
