درباره این ای-کتاب
Cardiac imaging has evolved rapidly from isolated modality-based assessments to a complex, interconnected diagnostic ecosystem. In contemporary cardiovascular care, no single imaging technique can adequately address the anatomical, functional, and biological complexity of heart disease. Cardiac Imaging Integration: Practical Insights provides a comprehensive, clinically focused guide to the intelligent integration of multimodal cardiac imaging in real-world practice.
This book bridges the gap between imaging technology and bedside decision-making. Rather than presenting imaging modalities in isolation, it emphasizes how echocardiography, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, and nuclear cardiology complement one another across diverse clinical scenarios. Through disease-specific pathways, structured algorithms, and integrated case discussions, readers are guided on when to image, what modality to choose, how to interpret findings collectively, and how imaging directly informs patient management.
Covering coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, valvular heart disease, heart failure, congenital and structural heart disease, and special populations, the text highlights practical imaging strategies aligned with contemporary clinical guidelines. Advanced topics—including parametric mapping, hybrid imaging, imaging-guided interventions, artificial intelligence, radiomics, and integration with electrophysiology—are presented in a clear, clinically relevant manner without unnecessary technical abstraction.
The book is richly supported by:
Real-world clinical cases illustrating multimodality decision-making
Flowcharts and imaging algorithms for diagnostic and management pathways
Tables summarizing strengths, limitations, and comparative roles of each modality
Guideline-based recommendations and consensus statements translated into daily practice
Operational and organizational insights on building and running integrated imaging services
Importantly, Cardiac Imaging Integration: Practical Insights goes beyond interpretation to address workflow, reporting standardization, multidisciplinary collaboration, education, and health-system considerations. It serves not only as a reference, but as a practical manual for implementing integrated cardiac imaging in modern cardiovascular practice.
