"The Atlas of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance" ("CMR") is a comprehensive, four-color visual compendium of CMR images, photomicrographs, anatomic illustrations, tables, and charts paired with extensive legends and explanations drawn from the latest peer-reviewed literature. In addition to providing historical perspective and current direction for CMR, this atlas focuses on research involving coronary artery diseases and anomalies, congestive heart failure, atherosclerotic plaques, and asymptomatic disease. The Atlas details imaging techniques, including preparation, acquisition, and processing, for study of the great vessels and carotids, the peripheral vasculature, and the coronary and pulmonary veins. Also included are discussions of the role of CMR in the emergency department and in clinical cardiology and private cardiology practices. This book is an unsurpassable professional reference.

This work, the fifth edition of what has come to be seen as a leader in its field, has been especially updated to further explore the impressive strides that have been made in the pathophysiology of heart failure at all levels. These include molecular changes and the integrated circulatory system. This edition provides an up-to-date overview of what constitutes normal cardiac function. It also contains an exhaustive guide to approaches that can be used to manage the system. Authors of the chapters provide detailed charts and graphs depicting new modalities available for treatment, management options, and syndrome etiology.

The Atlas of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography includes photomicrographs, anatomic illustrations, tables, and charts paired with extensive legends and explanations, supplemented by extensive research, peer-reviewed articles, and textbooks. In addition to providing historical perspective and current directions for computed tomography, the atlas focuses on research involving coronary artery diseases and anomalies, congestive heart failure, atherosclerotic plaques and asymptomatic disease, as well as imaging techniques, including preparation, acquisition, and processing, involving the great vessels and carotids, the peripheral vasculature, and coronary and pulmonary veins. Also included is discussion of the role of computed tomography in the emergency room and in private cardiology practice.

The Atlas encompasses the major fields of Internal Medicine, including Cardiology, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Gastroenterology, Hematology, Oncology, Dermatology, Hepatology, Rheumatology, Nephrology, Neurology, Allergy and Immunology, Endocrinology, and Infectious Diseases. It offers a unique compilation of over 1500 "best of the best" images, selected from the work of the highly respected physicians who have contributed this volume. The content of each chapter is carefully chosen to be useful to the primary care physician in identifying both common and rarer disease entities. The color slides provide visual confirmation of disease, while the algorithms, charts, schematics, and tables guide the physician in the decision-making process concerning diagnostic tests, treatment, and follow-up.
