Cardiovascular Imaging / European Society of Cardiology (PDF)

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.
