Excerpt
Advances in cardiovascular (CV) imaging in the past two decades have significantly contributed to the improvement in CV care and the reduction in CV mortality in recent years. The main focus of CV imaging has been and remains the detection and quantification of cardiac anatomy and physiology (e.g., ejection fraction and valvular function), myocardial blood flow and ischemia, and vascular size and structure (e.g., aortic aneurysm diameter). While a few other indications for imaging do exist, these areas continue to constitute the great majority of imaging studies performed. …
