Atlas of Non-Invasive Imaging in Cardiac Anatomy

by Francesco F. Faletra (Editor), Jagat Narula (Editor), Siew Yen Ho (Editor)

Overview

This atlas provides a detailed visual resource of how sophisticated non-invasive imaging relates to the anatomy observed in a variety of cardiovascular pathologies. It includes investigation of a wide range of defects in numerous cardiac structures. Mitral valve commissures, atrioventricular septal junction and right ventricular outflow tract plus a wealth of other structures are covered, offering readers a comprehensive integrative experience to understand how anatomic subtleties are revealed by modern imaging modalities.

Atlas of Non-Invasive Imaging in Cardiac Anatomy provides a detailed set of visual instructions that is of use to any cardiovascular professional needing to understand the orientation of a patient’s imaging. Therefore this is an essential guide for all trainee and practicing cardiologists, cardiac imagers, cardiac surgeons and interventionists.

About the Author

Francesco Faletra, has been the head of the cardiac imaging department at Cardiocentro Ticino in Lugano, Switzerland since 2005.  His focus is on 3D TEE and he regularly takes classes on this topic at cardiologists coming from all Europe.  During his career, he has been the author of numerous books and chapters.
Jagat Narula is a world-renowned physician-scientist in cardiovascular medicine and imaging, and leads the cardiac services at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital. He is involved in clinical and basic research in the field of cardiovascular imaging. He has made contributions to the imaging of apoptotic cell death in heart muscle, and to the imaging of atherosclerotic plaques vulnerable to rupture.
S. Yen Ho is a Consultant Cardiac Morphologist with an international reputation for research and education in congenital heart disease and arrhythmias, including morphological correlates with cardiac imaging, surgery, interventions and arrhythmias. She organizes and directs numerous short courses on cardiac anatomy and congenital heart malformations for postgraduates and practitioners including the original and renowned ‘Hands-on Cardiac Morphology’ course at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Manar H. Jbara, MD (East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine)
Description: This is a reference on transseptal catheterization and interventions.
Purpose: The purpose is to present cardiac structures relevant to clinical cardiologists with comparisons between the complex anatomical cardiac structures and imaging details on non-invasive studies.
Audience: The intended audience includes adult and pediatric interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, nurses, and other staff working in catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories. The authors and contributors are international thought leaders in their respective fields.
Features: The book is divided into seven chapters that each focus on certain cardiac structure anatomy and imaging. The first few chapters focus on intracardiac valves. The following chapters focus on atrial and ventricular septa and the anatomy and imaging of right and left atria and ventricles. The last chapter focuses on coronary arteries and veins.
Assessment: This book will be a valuable resource for interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists, fellows, attendings, and nursing staff working in catheterization and electrophysiology laboratories. The authors have met their objective of providing a high-quality atlas and book comparing the anatomy of complex cardiac structures with sophisticated non-invasive imaging.
