Cardiovascular medicine has witnessed significant progress over the
past century, incorporating the technical advances of each era to
improve patient care. The introduction of the stethoscope,
electrocardiography, roentgenography, angiography, invasive
hemodynamics, ultrasonography, nuclear scintigraphy, and magnetic
resonance have each, in turn, allowed progressively greater
accuracy and precision in the diagnosis and treatment of
cardiovascular disease. The advent of multidetector computed
tomography (MDCT) using 64 detector rows provides the next leap
forward in cardiovascular care by delivering on the promise of
high-resolution visualization of cardiovascular structure and
function noninvasively. Cardiovascular Multidetector CT Angiography
demonstrates the clinical context within which this technology is
useful for individual patient assessment, providing the technical
information needed to perform cardiovascular CTA and focusing on
the spectrum of clinical applications. Written by acknowledged
experts in the CTA arena, the book contains an abundance of
64-slice images-the highest technical resolution available-to
identify disease states. Topics covered include normal cardiac
anatomy, abnormal coronary arteries, coronary anomalies, artifacts,
left and right ventricular function and abnormalities, valvular
heart disease, pericardium, and the aorta. The book also discusses
cardiac masses, cardiac veins, peripheral artery disease, and
congenital heart disease. Demonstrating the application of
cardiovascular multidetector computed tomography from the
perspective of patient care, the book is composed entirely of case
studies-an excellent format for teaching those just beginning to
work with CTA. The book is designed for cardiologists and
radiologists alike, as well as primary care physicians, medical
students, and other health care professionals who have the
opportunity to use this technology to improve diagnosis and
treatment for their patients with cardiovascular disease.
