Integrating Cardiology for Nuclear Medicine Physicians
Springer Berlin (Verlag)
978-3-642-09743-0 (ISBN)
Nuclear cardiology is no longer a medical discipline residing solely in nuclear medicine. This is the first book to recognize this fact by integrating in-depth information from both the clinical cardiology and nuclear cardiology literature, and acknowledging cardiovascular medicine as the fundamental knowledge base needed for the practice of nuclear cardiology. The book is designed to increase the practitioner's knowledge of cardiovascular medicine, thereby enhancing the quality of interpretations through improved accuracy and clinical relevance.The text is divided into four sections covering all major topics in cardiology and nuclear cardiology:
- Basic Sciences and Cardiovascular Diseases
- Conventional Diagnostic Modalities
- Nuclear Cardiology
- Management of Cardiovascular Diseases
Basic Sciences.- The Heart: Anatomy, Physiology and Exercise Physiology.- Pathophysiology of Coronary Artery Disease.- Pathology of Coronary Artery Disease and Ischemic Heart Disease.- Pathophysiology of Diabetic Vascular Complications.- Conventional Investigation of Coronary Artery Disease and Ischaemic Heart Disease.- Clinical Assessment and Evaluation of the Cardiovascular System.- The Plain Chest Radiograph in the Assessment of Cardiac Disease.- Ischaemic and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Disease.- Electrocardiography and Exercise Stress Test.- Ambulatory Electrocardiography, Transient Event Monitors, and Continuous Loop Recorders.- Echocardiography and Contrast Echocardiography.- Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography.- Transesophageal echocardiography.- Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology - An Overview.- Cardiac Catheterization and Selective Coronary Angiography: Current Status and Limitations.- Emerging Role of Multi-detector CT Imaging.- Current Status of Cardiovascular MR Imaging.- Nuclear Cardiology.- Principles of Myocardial SPECT Imaging.- Radionuclides in Nuclear Cardiology: Current Status and Limitations.- Planar and SPECT Radiopharmaceuticals in Nuclear Cardiology: Current Status and Limitations.- Myocardial Perfusion Imaging for Risk Stratification in Suspected or Known Coronary Artery Disease: Current Status and Limitations.- Imaging Protocols in Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy.- Pharmacological Stress Myocardial Perfusion Imaging: Current Status and Limitations.- Gated Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) Imaging: Current Status and Limitations.- Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy in the Assessment of Post-Revascularization - Current Status and Limitations.- Nuclear Cardiology in Women.- Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy inAcute Chest Pain: Current Status and Limitations.- Myocardial Perfusion Scintigraphy in Diabetes: Current Status and Limitations.- Artefacts and Pitfalls in Myocardial Perfusion Imaging.- Multiple Gated Equilibrium Blood Pool Imaging (MUGA).- First Pass Studies - Current Status and Limitations.- Cardiac PET: Physics and Methodology.- PET Radiopharmaceuticals in Nuclear Cardiology: Current Status and Limitations.- Cardiac PET Imaging: Current Status and Limitations.- Paediatric Nuclear Cardiology.- Cardiac Adrenergic Imaging.- Management of Coronary Artery Disease and Ischaemic Heart Disease.- Prevention of Coronary Heart Disease.- Cardiovascular Medications: Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics.- Anti-Arrhythmic Drugs: Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics.- Coronary Angioplasty and Newer Interventional Strategies.- Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: Science and Practice.- Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery.- Transmyocardial Revascularization.- Prevention of Re-Stenosis of Coronary Arteries by Radionuclides.- Cardiac Transplantation: Current Status and Limitations.
