Nuclear Cardiology and Multimodal Cardiovascular Imaging: A Companion to Braunwald's Heart Disease

Recent years have seen numerous advances in cardiovascular nuclear  medicine technology, leading to more precise diagnoses and treatment and  an expanded understanding of the molecular basis for cardiac disease.  Nuclear Cardiology and Multimodal Cardiovascular Imaging is a one-stop,  comprehensive guide to the diagnostic and clinical implications of this  complex and increasingly important technology. Part of the Braunwald  family of renowned cardiology references, it provides cutting-edge  coverage of multimodal cardiac imaging along with case vignettes and  integrated teaching content—ideal for cardiologists, cardiology fellows,  radiologists, and nuclear medicine physicians.

Features all the  latest cardiovascular nuclear medicine studies with practical,  evidence-based implications for personalized patient evaluation and  treatment.

Presents a consistent, patient-centered approach  using integrated case vignettes correlated with specific nuclear  medicine imaging findings. Discusses patient assessment criteria, risk  factor criteria, pathology, evaluation criteria, outcomes, and other  clinical implications.

Covers a full range of imaging  technologies, including SPECT/CT, PET/CT, and CT/MR hybrid radionuclide  cardiovascular imaging studies.
Addresses emerging clinical  applications of nuclear imaging techniques for precision-based medicine,  including targeted molecular imaging and cell therapies.

Includes  sections on instrumentation/principles of imaging; protocols and  interpretation; applications in coronary artery disease, special  populations, and heart failure; artificial intelligence, and more.
Contains guidelines and appropriate use documents to provide appropriate context for clinicians.
Features hundreds of high-quality figures including multimodal cardiac imaging studies, anatomic illustrations, and graphs.
