Review

`...the coverage of the various modalities is quite comprehensive. The book is very well referenced and contains plenty of figures and tables... This volume will appeal to cardiologists, echocardiographers, nuclear physicians, surgeons and others and would make a useful acquisition to an institutional library.'
ANZ Nuclear Medicine, 32:1 (2001)

Synopsis

This text provides a concise summary of developments in myocardial viability from the bench to the bedside. At stake is the enormous importance of the issue at hand: how to select the patient with severe left ventricular dysfunction who may benefit from coronary revascularization. This is the crux of the matter, knowing that medical therapy in these patients carries a poor outcome even with the newer drugs and that cardiac transplantation is possible in only a few. This book should prove useful to those providing the technical aspects of procedure as well as those who manage such patients, physicians and surgeons alike.
