Multimodality Imaging in the Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization is the insertion of a catheter into a chamber or vessel of the heart.This is done both for diagnostic andinterventional purposes. Subsets of this technique are mainly coronary catheterization, involving the catheterization of thecoronary arteries, and catheterization of cardiac chambers and valves of the cardiac system. It is a general term for a group ofprocedures that are performed using this method, such as coronary angiography and left ventricle angiography. This book isdesigned for all medical professionals related to this field. The book provides the spectrum of cardiac catheterization andcatheter-based interventions from pediatrics to geriatrics. It is a practical guide for the interventional treatment of all types ofcardiac diseases, to be used by the cardiologists. The book describes the emerging techniques of the field. This book is anaccumulation of knowledge, expertise, techniques and procedures of various experienced interventional cardiologists withrich experiences in teaching cardiac catheterization and interventions.
