- An essential companion to assist interventional cardiologists in better assessing patients with Coronary Artery Disease
- Encompasses and reviews all interventional imaging modalities
- Provides essential guidance for interventional cardiologists to use the different modalities currently available
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.
