Colchicine treatment early after infarction attenuates myocardial inflammatory response demonstrated by 14 C-methionine imaging and subsequent ventricular remodeling by quantitative gated SPECT

ConclusionsShort-term colchicine treatment after AMI attenuated the post-AMI inflammatory response and subsequent ventricular remodeling and dysfunction.14C-methionine imaging and gated99mTc-MIBI SPECT would be feasible to monitor the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory therapy and left ventricular function.
