Synopsis

This book is focused on the use of non-invasive imaging in clinical cardiology. Its central theme is the use of different imaging modalities in the routine clinical problems that physicians encounter on a regular basis. Many different clinical issues are discussed, including valvular disease, coronary artery disease, and myocardial and pericardial disease. In these various pathologies, the applications of echocardiography, nuclear imaging, CMR and MSCT are highlighted.

The majority of chapters are illustrated with a clinical case study and with moving images, which are contained on the accompanying CD. These case studies offer excellent examples of how to use the imaging modalities in clinical cardiology. Contributors are from Europe, the US and Asia to provide a global perspective.

The ESC Education Series
This book with its supporting CD is part of the ESC Education Series. The series is designed to provide medical professionals with the latest information about the understanding, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. Where available, management recommendations are based on the established European Guidelines, which encompass the best techniques to use with each cardiac disease. Throughout the series, the leading international opinion leaders have been chosen to edit and contribute to the books. The information is presented in a succinct and accessible format with a clinical focus.

From the Back Cover

This book and supporting CD are part of the ESC Education Series. The series is designed to provide medical professionals with the latest information about the understanding, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases.

Non-invasive imaging is developing a frantic pace and is being implemented more and more in the diagnostic and prognostic work-up of patients with heart disease. this volume provides insight into the use of different imaging modalities in clinical settings, focusing on frequently observed diseases, rather than the imaging modalities themselves.

This logical approach provides basic information on the relevance of each imaging modality in these various diseases, and then highlights each one in a clinical case that all cardiologists will frequently encounter.

Cardiovascular imaging: An handbook for clinical practice is an essential contribution to your collection.
