Description
This book is focused on the use of non-invasive imaging in clinicalcardiology. Its central theme is the use of different imagingmodalities in the routine clinical problems that physiciansencounter on a regular basis. Many different clinical issues arediscussed, including valvular disease, coronary artery disease, andmyocardial and pericardial disease. In these various pathologies,the applications of echocardiography, nuclear imaging, CMR and MSCTare highlighted.
The majority of chapters are illustrated with a clinical casestudy and with moving images, which are contained on theaccompanying CD. These case studies offer excellent examples of howto use the imaging modalities in clinical cardiology. Contributorsare from Europe, the US and Asia to provide a globalperspective.
The ESC Education Series
This book with its supporting CD is part of the ESC EducationSeries. The series is designed to provide medical professionalswith the latest information about the understanding, diagnosis andmanagement of cardiovascular diseases. Where available, managementrecommendations are based on the established European Guidelines,which encompass the best techniques to use with each cardiacdisease. Throughout the series, the leading international opinionleaders have been chosen to edit and contribute to the books. Theinformation is presented in a succinct and accessible format with aclinical focus.
