Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Contemporary Cardiology

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging or cardiac MRI is a non-invasive imaging technology used for the assessment of the cardiovascular system. It has a significant role in evidence-based therapeutic and diagnostic pathways in cardiovascular disease, especially the surgical planning in complex heart diseases. It has applications in the assessment of cardiovascular disorders, such as myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, myocardial ischemia and viability, congenital heart disease, besides others. The development of CMR is an active area of research and is witnessing innovation in terms of better and improved techniques. This book explores all the important aspects of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in the present day scenario. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and the evolution of this field are examined in detail. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with cardiology and medical imaging will benefit alike from this book.
