About this book

Imaging is at the core of diagnostic procedures in cardiology. The idea of creating The European Society of Cardiology Textbook of Cardiovascular Imaging has, therefore, been in the air for quite a long time. We recognized the rapid development of cardiovascular imaging and the growth of the clinical use of cardiac imaging. Although there have been excellent books and reviews on the matter, the society experienced the need of a book representing the accumulated expertise of European cardiovascular imagers. Our goal was to produce a clinically orientated book, which explained the utility of different imaging modalities in the diagnosis of all relevant major cardiovascular disorders. We invited the best specialists in the eld to contribute with their expertise as authors. The book is divided in sections that deal with speci c themes involving theory and practice of cardiac imaging and its clinical use in all major cardiovascular diseases from coronary heart disease to cardiomyopathies. We hope this book will become an ideal companion to all cardiologists, trainees, and card- vascular imagers. There has been a lot of effort and hard work to develop this project. We are con dent that this book will help to spread the expertise and knowledge available on cardiov- cular imaging. We thank all the authors who contributed long hours to develop the content of this book. Without their expertise and commitment, this book could not have been possible.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“The book is organized into 8 sections addressing the major cardiovascular disease categories affected by cardiovascular imaging. … One strength is the clinical images widely included throughout. … Overall, The ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Imaging is a top-notch, authoritative, easily readable, clinically oriented textbook on state-of-the-art cardiovascular imaging. … Educational institutions, trainees, clinical cardiologists, and practicing cardiovascular imagers would all benefit from having this textbook in their reference library.” (Thomas F. Heston, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 304 (19), November, 2010)

“‘The book is clearly set-out, and the clinical nature of the chapter headings is very useful to those approaching the subject with precisely framed clinical questions. The images are plentiful, clear and with sufficient resolution to illustrate the points being made. … A clear and comprehensive summary of the field of cardiac imaging. … ESC endorsement makes this an essential text for trainee cardiologists.”’ (BMA Medical Book Awards, September, 2011)
