Description
Significant advances over the past two decades in noninvasive cardiovascular imaging technologies and methods to evaluate patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease have transformed the field of cardiovascular imaging. Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging, edited by eminent cardiologist and leader in noninvasive cardiac imaging, Dr. Mario J. Garcia, serves as a one-stop, authoritative resource covering the application, value, limitations, and competing and complimentary roles of each of the different cardiac imaging modalities. It provides practical information and guidelines to cardiologists, radiologists, electrophysiologists, vascular medicine physicians, and cardiac surgeons—anyone who needs a deeper understanding of the roles and limitations of various imaging modalities for cardiovascular disease.- Offers a focused and concise overview of multimodal cardiac imaging for clinical assessment and treatment.- Covers all relevant types of cardiac imaging, including echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, cardiac CT, and nuclear cardiology.- Contains sections on imaging in heart failure, imaging in EP, imaging in acute settings, and more.- Features over 350 images and videos showcasing the benefits of different modalities.- Provides practical information in every chapter: diagrams to illustrate the step-wise application of different noninvasive imaging modalities to establish the diagnosis and guide therapy; figures and illustrations to aid in the performance of imaging tests and interpretation of findings; a summary of the most relevant and updated information and references; a discussion of controversies; and clinical cases.
