Nuclear Cardiology in Everyday Practice (Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine)

This book, which is based on the experience of a single hospital team, encompasses all major issues in nuclear cardiology with a clinical orientation. It lays particular emphasis on everyday clinical problems and situations, an emphasis which is lacking in most other similar books, which particularly address technical, physical or experimental advances. There are three parts: the first is a review of technical and procedural issues; in the second the major clinical conditions in which nuclear cardiology techniques have an application are reviewed, with a critical appraisal of their uses; and the third part provides an overview of the statistical and epidemiological fundamentals which are relevant for a proper understanding and evaluation of the results of nuclear studies. The book is addressed to all cardiologists and nuclear medicine specialists.
