Summary:

Iskandrian (medicine and radiology, U. of Alabama at Birmingham) and Garcia (cardiac imaging, Emory U. Hospital) bring together a group of cardiac and radiology specialists from the US, Brazil, and Spain for 20 chapters on the use of nuclear imaging in the evaluation of cardiovascular function. Through many case studies and images, chapters address evaluating myocardial perfusion SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography); interpretation, reporting, and guidelines; image artifacts; radionuclide angiography; stress test techniques; serial testing; stable patients with coronary artery disease; and patients with PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) and CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting), acute coronary syndrome, heart failure and cardiomyopathy and other forms of heart disease, and chest pain. Others cover risk stratification prior to noncardiac surgery; myocardial perfusion imaging of special patient groups; viability assessment; extracardiac incidental findings; newer tools for the assessment of heart failure; improving efficiency and reducing radiation; combined CT imaging; and cardiac positron emission tomography/computed tomography. The atlas is meant to be a companion to Braunwald's Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine. Web access to a searchable full text and videos is provided.
