With 1.28 billion adults worldwide living with hypertension which can initiate cardiac hypertrophy, early identification is crucial to identify those most at risk allowing early stratification of treatments. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) can quantify blood oxygen saturation in deep tissue and could offer important data on cardiac remodeling in hypertension.
- PAI can measure reduced oxygen supply in the enlarged hypertrophic heart with insufficient angiogenesis
- Investigate the efficacy of PAI in evaluating treatment responses, with insights from angiotensin-II-induced hypertrophy studies
