The EACVI Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology

Abstract

Nuclear techniques have contributed to the diagnosis and management of patients with coronary artery disease over the past 50 years. The various nuclear modalities available to the clinician and patient keep evolving, with tremendous advances in therapeutics occurring in the cardiovascular space. The Handbook serves as a user-friendly clinical guide to the field of nuclear cardiology. Covering all aspects of this ever-expanding area, it is an excellent tool in the diagnosis and management of patients with heart failure (ischaemic and non-ischaemic), amyloid heart disease, endocarditis, myocarditis, and cardiac sarcoidosis. There are many images, tables, and bullet points that can be used daily in your busy practice to refresh your memory on various cardiac pathologies. The illustrations are derived from a typical clinical practice, and the easily accessible format allows you as a reader to focus on the ‘typical findings’ of various cardiac pathologies.
