Multimodality Imaging In Cardiovascular Medicine (Hb 2011)

New applications of echocardiography, nuclear magnetic resonance, cardiovascular magnetic resonance, and cardiac computed tomography are rapidly developing and it is imperative that trainees and practitioners alike remain up to date in the latest developments. It is becoming increasingly difficult to remain abreast of these advances in each individual modality and thus it is no longer practical to focus on one at a time. In addition, training guidelines are changing and multimodality training has become the norm.

Multimodality Imaging in Cardiovascular Medicine presents a clear and in-depth review of the available technologies and evidence supporting their appropriate clinical applications. Hundreds of outstanding images are included to support and augment the discussions from the leading experts in each modality. For maximum clinical value, rather than organize the content by imaging modality, the book is organized by disease so that the reader can utilize the book in real-time problem solving and decision making in daily clinical practice.

Features of Multimodality Imaging in Cardiovascular Medicine Include

• More than 350 multimodality imaging examples of cardiovascular pathophysiology
• Corresponding text places the images into context at the interface with patient care
• State-of-the-art chapters contributed by the leading imaging experts
