Description
Review of the Last Edition: "There is no other text on cardiac imaging available with which it could be compared...All of the individual cardiac imaging modalities are comprehensively described and discussed...An interdisciplinary book that will be of great value to all those involved in the care of patients with heart disease." - Radiology. The New Edition of this comprehensive, critically acclaimed resource provides state-of-the-art, in-depth information on the technical and clinical aspects of all currently available cardiac imaging technologies. It features a unique, integrated approach to cardiac imaging, offering valuable guidance on the combination of imaging techniques that can provide the most accurate yet cost-effective diagnoses for a variety of cardiac conditions.
