The main subject of this book is the investigation of cardiac
function and in particular ventricular function with
radionuclide-based techniques. Emphasis is given to the study of
clinical cases which can routinely occur in the life of a busy
cardiological practice, by comparing conventional techniques, such
as the electrocardiogram, the echocardiogram or the catheter study,
with the newer nuclear medicine imaging procedures. Four basic
images are given (end systole, end diastole, amplitude and phase),
obtained either with a first pass or an equilibrium methodology,
and the information analyzed. The clinical material is not
exhaustive but covers a broad spectrum, with examples of coronary
artery disease, valvular disease, cardiomyopathy, conduction
disease and congenital heart disease. The book is aimed not only at
the practising specialist (cardiologist, radiologist, nuclear
medicine physician) but also at the general physician and surgeon
interested in finding out what modern non invasive nuclear medicine
procedures have to offer in the investigation of the heart. London,
June 1982 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are specially grateful to the Sir
Jules Thorn Charitable Trust for its continuous support and

An old legend that no one could catch. That puzzled several
generations with his bizarre behaviour. That vanished as abruptly
as he appeared. And that no one knew anything about. Until now.
Three remarkable people find their routines torn apart when they
Empty or abandoned? A dream incarnate or a nightmare in stone? For
a young lottery winner with Tourette's, Wildspur Manor is a fantasy
fulfilled when he moves in and begins planning renovation work.
Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be alone, a problem he decides to
meet head on with the aid of technology and alcohol. Obsession soon
takes a bear hold, not only regarding the house but also a young
woman from its past whose life was tragically short. This will lead
him down a dangerous path, and ultimately to a possibilty so
fantastical that he is sure he must be dreaming... This
mystery/fantasy is ultimately a tale of obsession with the past and
of one man's desire to experience a time forgotten. With romantic
and supernatural overtones, complete at 166,000 words and lightly
laced with humour, it should appeal to most audiences.
A mystery, lightly laced with humor, and with paranormal overtones
that are misinterpreted until the end. The story is contemporary
but would fall loosely into the fantasy genre due to the
revelations of later chapters. After a miserable year following the
loss of his wife, Tom Kerr has just started running again, hoping
it will prove a better way of dealing with stress than drinking.
This will bring him into contact with a living myth, who could be
the answer to both his prayers and a fifty-year-old mystery that
has just reared its ugly head amidst strange occurrences in the
local woods.
