Interventional Cardiology Imaging An Essential Guide [Hardcover]

Interventional cardiology has transitioned from angiographic subjective analysis of stenosis severity into assessment of plaque characteristics and objective assessment of stenosis severity. The evolution of novel interventional imaging modalities is progressively altering our understanding of coronary artery disease diagnosis and prognosis.?This book will be an essential companion to assist interventional cardiologists in better assessing patients with Coronary?Artery Disease. It will encompass and review all interventional imaging modalities and provide guidance for interventional cardiologists to use these modalities.?This essential companion will help interventional cardiologists to better assess patients with coronary artery disease. It examines all interventional imaging modalities and provides guidance on how to use them.Coronary angiography and QCA.- Plaque characterization.- Intravascular ultrasound.- Near infra-red spectroscopy.- Optical coherence tomography.- Virtual histology IVUS.- Fractional Flow Reserve.- Coronary flow Reserve.- Intravascular MRI.- Intra-cardiac echocardiography.- Peripheral interventional imaging.- Non-invasive correlation of invasive imaging.- TEE-Guided Interventional imaging.

It is intended to provide an overview ofpresent-day methods of invasive coronary imaging appropriate for any medicalprovider involved in coronary angiography. Considering it is a practical reviewof all available intracoronary imaging techniques, this book would bebeneficial for cardiology fellows and general and interventional cardiologists,in addition to catheterization laboratory personnel. & This is an exceptionalreference for multiple levels of cardiology providers & .
