This new case-based book fills a gap in the literature by guiding the reader through the challenging clinical problems encountered in daily practice. Each case presents the clinician with a complete patient work-up that includes clinical history, radiological and clinical findings, treatment summary and suggested readings. Ideal for radiology and cardiology residents, as well as experienced physicians, this text helps the reader arrive at a diagnosis for each clinical problem presented.

Dr. Claudio Smuclovisky is the Director of the South Florida Medical Imaging Cardiovascular Institute in Boca Raton, Florida.


This compendium of cardiac CT angiographic cases is a sampling of the breadth of real-world cases encountered in a busy practice with examples of pathology and normal variants. Dr. Claudio Smuclovisky has assimilated the key image ?ndings from cardiac CT and coupled these with comp- mentary imaging documentation and key clinical history pieces that de?ne the diagnosis of each case. These cases include not only coronary artery anatomy, anomalies, and pathology but also thoracic and cardiac ano- lies and pathology encountered when performing cardiac CT angiography. Importantly, these cases serve as examples that enhance the educational experience for less-experienced interpreters, while providing a reference for more-experienced imagers. Documented within are also many unusual ?ndings not routinely encountered in a low-volume practice. Experience and exposure to the breadth of cardiac anatomic variants and disease p- cesses are a major component of building an imaging fund of knowledge. Cases of congenital heart disease, for example (less frequently enco- tered in the adult population), have important clinical and prognostic value that require communication to the referring physician. These attributes may not be fully characterized or may be missed if the CT angiography (CTA) imager is only focused on the coronary arteries and not the entire set of images. This compendium will widen the exposure of new interpreters and also serve as a reference when dif?cult cases are encountered.
