Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in developed countries and represents a serious social, economic, and health problem. In cardiology, clinical tasks were initially only supported by plain films and EKG. Later, interventional cardiology was introduced. Then, Doppler echocardiography and isotopic methods brought about a radical change, providing cardiologists with real noninvasive methods to document the diagnosis in practically all aspects of cardiac disease, except for the anatomy of coronary arteries. The development of new noninvasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis and follow-up of cardiovascular diseases has meant a great revolution in the last two decades.
