Description
Book SynopsisThis book is a comprehensive guide providing cardiologists with the latest information and developments in the field of diagnostic and prognostic cardiac imaging.
Divided into two sections, the first part of the book examines cardiac imaging, and is further divided into non-invasive and invasive techniques.
The second section discusses clinical cardiology and is further divided into emerging therapies and the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease.
The book is enhanced by nearly 150 clinical photographs, diagrams and tables to assist learning.
