Noninvasive Imaging of Myocardial Ischemia

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Despite advances and new developments in primary and secondary prevention, the prevalence of the disease and its complications remain high. Early detection has been shown to reduce significantly the risk of cardiac events such as myocardial infarction and death, while modern cardiology now provides specialists and general physicians with a variety of procedures for the assessment of IHD using noninvasive methods. This book reviews the currently available imaging techniques for the diagnosis and management of IHD. In addition, the role of cardiac imaging for the detection of viability and hibernation is discussed in detail.Noninvasive Imaging of Myocardial Ischemia 1st Edition is written by Constantinos Anagnostopoulos; ?Petros Nihoyannopoulos; ?Jeroen Bax and published by Springer.
