Heart transplantation remains one of the major scientific
achievements of twentieth century medicine. During the past four
decades, it has evolved from an unproven experimental surgical
technique to the most effective form of therapy for refractory
end-stage heart disease. It has captured the public's imagination
and expanded our understanding of fundamental immunologic
mechanisms that are responsible for cellular and humorally-mediated
immunity. Despite its successes, many clinical and scientific
problems remain. One or more bouts of acute cellular or humoral
(vascular) rejection will occur in over 75% of transplant
recipients despite current immunosuppressive strategies. Further,
rejection directly results in approximately 20% of post-transplant
deaths and is believed to play a major role in the development of
late allograft dysfunction and coronary vasculopathy. This book by
international experts in the fields of transplantation medicine,
immunobiology and cardiac imaging provides the reader with an
up-to-date, consise summary of the latest developments in the
diagnosis and treatment of acute cardiac rejection. It is axiomatic
that a more complete understanding of the pathogenic processes
involved in rejection will ultimately lead to its prevention. This
volume will be useful to transplant cardiologists, cardiovascular
surgeons, cardiac pathologists and transplant scientists who seek
to prolong the lifespan and improve the quality of life of their
transplant recipients.

Cardiac CT obtains information about coronary arteries, great
arteries and veins, and heart valves.? It shows the location and
extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries and helps
detect coronary artery disease at an early stage, which neither
traditional imaging techniques nor cardiac testing? can do. Over
the last decade technologic advances in CT angiography have been
made at a rapid rate, and the new applications and refinements of
existing technology continue to be made.? This issue will help
practicing cardiologists to keep up with the latest technology in
this important and swiftly moving field.
Heart failure is a serious condition caused by the heart failing to
pump enough blood around the body at the right pressure. It usually
occurs because the heart muscle has become too weak or stiff to
work properly, most commonly caused by heart attack, high blood
pressure or cardiomyopathy (heart disease). This textbook is a
comprehensive guide to the latest advances in the diagnosis and
management of heart failure. Comprising nearly 1000 pages, the book
features 15 sections, beginning with discussion on clinical issues
of heart failure, followed by imaging techniques. Each of the
following sections covers a different disorder or disease that
subsequently may lead to heart failure. Topics include coronary
artery disease, stroke, arrhythmia, hypertension, nutritional
aspects, cardio-oncology, and much more. The book concludes with
rehabilitation, legal aspects, and future directions. Authored by
internationally recognised experts in the field, the text is
further enhanced by clinical photographs, diagrams and tables. Key
points Comprehensive guide to latest advances in diagnosis and
management of heart failure Extensive text comprising nearly 1000
pages covering numerous associated disorders and diseases

illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables
The book comprises of 142 chapters grouped in 35 sections and
exhaustively discusses the role of various imaging modalities in
the context of specific diseases, and comparative roles for each
modality. The role of echocardiography in the assessment of
different types of cardiomyopathy, such as dilated, restrictive and
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac dyssynchrony, pericardial
effusion, oncology, cardiac tamponade and pericardial constriction
find good coverage in the book. Advances in echocardiographic
assessment of all types of congenital heart disease, including
neonatal heart failure are fully discussed.

Hybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT represent new technologies that were
introduced recently in clinical medicine and are evolving rapidly
with several improvements in instrumentation, imaging procedures as
well as in clinical trials that support the expanded role of these
technologies in clinical practice. As such, an updated 4th edition
of the Atlas is critical in order for the clinicians remain current
with the imaging field and maintain their skills. Imaging protocols
with the se technologies have to be updated and/or expanded in
order to acquire high quality images at a reduced radiation burden
to the patient while advancing the application of these techniques
for more advanced disease detection. Accordingly, beyond
significantly updating the chapters from the 3rd edition, 2 new
chapters will be introduced in the 4th edition, which reflects the
expanded clinical applications of the technologies in the past 3
years. The new chapters are as follows: "Hybrid SPECT/CT and PET/CT
Imaging" and a dedicated chapter on "Radiation Safety and Exposure:
Clinical Decision-Making and the Risk-Benefit Ratio". Chapter 7
from the 3rd edition will be deleted. The updated Atlas will serve
as a reference source for all cardiologists, radiologists, and
nuclear medicine physicians interested in the most up-to-date
approaches to noninvasive diagnostic cardiovascular nuclear imaging
techniques for the evaluation of patients with known or suspected
coronary artery disease as well as non-coronary heart disease. It
will also serve as a ready reference textbook for medical students
and residents interested in the practice of cardiovascular
medicine.
