Atlas of Nuclear Cardiology provides detailed guidance on how to
and how not to perform imaging studies so you can get the best
image quality and avoid artifacts. Ami E. Iskandrian and the
editorial team responsible for Braunwald's Heart Disease bring you
the most clinically relevant, case-based, evidence-based,
practical, and contemporary atlas of nuclear cardiology.
High-quality, full-color images ensure that you get the possible
results. Access the fully searchable contents online at
www.expertconsult.com, along with a moving image library that
demonstrates myocardial perfusion imaging, myocardial tracers, PET,
PET-CT, and gated SPECT. Stay current on recent developments in
nuclear cardiac imaging such as equilibrium radionuclide
angiocardiography (ERNA) and first-pass radionuclide angiography
(FPRNA). Master the application of techniques to specific clinical
situations with detailed case studies and discussions of
challenging issues. Gain a clear visual understanding from
numerous, high-quality images in full color. Find information
quickly and easily thanks to a practical, consistent format
throughout the text. Master nuclear imaging with the practical,
case-based information you need, from the Braunwald experts you
trust
In the past few years it has become clear that left ventricular
dysfunction, even of severe degree, may be reversible after
coronary revascularization in some patients. As a result,
myocardial viability has captured the imagination of researchers
and clinicians seeking to unravel the cellular and subcellular
mechanisms and define appropriate diagnostic modalities. These
diagnostic modalities include: cardiac catheterization,
positron-emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging,
two-dimensional echocardiography and single-photon imaging. This
book brings together a diverse array of information in a
comprehensive and concise fashion using a template of 10 chapters
written by experts in the field. It should be of value to
cardiologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, cardiac
surgeons, anesthesiologists, internists and basic researchers and
their trainees who are involved in the management of patients with
coronary artery disease in whom myocardial viability is a
clinically relevant issue.
Nuclear cardiac imaging refers to cardiac radiological diagnostic
techniques performed with the aid of radiopharmaceuticals, which
are perfused into the myocardium as markers. These imaging studies
provide a wide range of information about the heart, including the
contractility of the heart, the amount of blood supply to the heart
and whether parts of the heart muscle are alive or dead. This is
essential information for cardiologists, and nuclear imaging has
become an increasingly important part of the cardiologist's
armamentarium. Chapters in Nuclear Cardiac Imaging cover
historical, technical and physiological considerations, diagnosis
and prognosis, conditions other than Coronary Artery Disease (CAD),
advanced cardiac imaging, and challenges and opportunities. New to
the sixth edition are key point summaries at the start of each
chapter, clinical cases with videos, and a question and answer
chapter on practical issues. This volume is ideal for nuclear
cardiologists in training and nuclear clinicians alike who are
searching for quick answers to important clinical and technical
questions.
