Abstract
Over the past decade, there has been a rapid development of new cardiac imaging technologies. This has led to new insights and better understanding of basic cardiac pathophysiology which has undoubtedly contributed to the impressive decline in cardiovascular mortality in recent years [1]. Precise anatomic diagnosis, physiologic assessment, and accurate prognosis have been made available by these new technologies.
