Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance An Issue Of Heart Failure Clinics E Book

This issue of Heart Failure Clinics, guest edited by Dr. Subha V. Raman, will cover key topics in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance. This issue is one of four issues selected each year by our series consulting editor, Dr. Eduardo Bossone. Topics discussed in this issue will include: When to use CMR for patients with heart failure; Quantifying cardiac dysfunction with CMR; CMR in heritable cardiomyopathies; CMR in ischemic cardiomyopathy; CMR in right heart and pulmonary circulation disorders; CMR of myocardial fibrosis, edema, and infiltrates in heart failure; Magnetic resonance-based characterization of myocardial architecture; CMR in valvular heart disease-related heart failure; Pericardial disease with CMR; CMR’s central role in chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity; Intracardiac and vascular hemodynamics with CMR in heart failure; Myocardial energetics with CMR; CMR in congenital heart disease: focus on heart failure; and Machine learning in CMR applied to heart failure.

This fully updated edition of the most comprehensive and best-illustrated volume on cardiac MRI emphasizes its use in everyday clinical practice and includes in its online edition dozens more real-life cases that significantly enhance the utility of the book.

Contains 12 relevant, practice-oriented topics including artificial intelligence in heart failure imaging; ischemic cardiomyopathy: imaging-guided therapies; evaluation and management of cardiac sarcoidosis with advanced imaging; viral myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy: changing diagnostic insight from advanced imaging; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on the changing landscape of heart failure imaging, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

Provides state-of-the-art coverage of CMR technologies and guidelines, including basic principles, imaging techniques, ischemic heart disease, right ventricular and congenital heart disease, vascular and pericardium conditions, and functional cardiovascular disease. Includes new chapters on non-cardiac pathology, pacemaker safety, economics of CMR, and guidelines as well as new coverage of myocarditis and its diagnosis and assessment of prognosis by cardiovascular magnetic resonance, and the use of PET/CMR imaging of the heart, especially in sarcoidosis. Features more than 1,100 high-quality images representing today’s CMR imaging. Covers T1, T2 and ECV mapping, as well as T2* imaging in iron overload, which has been shown to save lives in patients with thalassaemia major Discusses the cost-effectiveness of CMR.

This issue of Heart Failure Clinics, guest edited by Mani A. Vannan, will focus on Imaging the Failing Heart. Topics include, but are not limited to, The Healthcare Burden of Heart Failure; Nomenclature, Classification, Stages of Heart Failure; Left Ventricular Size and Ejection Fraction; Left Ventricular Wall Thickness and Mass; Myocardial Strain and Dyschrony; Myocardial Scar and Fibrosis; Left Atrial size and Function; Right Ventricular Size and Function; Mitral and Tricuspid Regurgitation; Diastolic Function; Intraventricular Flow; Resting and Exercise Doppler Hemodynamics; Ultrasound of the Lung; Role of Imaging in Specific Cardiomyopathies; and Interventional Imaging in Heart Failure.

Cardiac MR is explored in this important issue in MRI Clinics of North America. Articles will include: MR physics in practice; Ventricular mechanics: Techniques and applications; MR safety issues particular to women; Novel MR applications for evaluation of pericardial diseases; 4D flow applications for aortic diseases; T1 mapping: technique and applications; ARVD: An updated imaging approach; Imaging the metabolic syndrome; Coronary MRA: how to optimize image quality; Prognostic role of MRI in nonischemic myocardial disease; MRI for valvular imaging; MRI for adult congenital heart disease assessment; Cardiac MRI applications for cancer patients; Applications of PET-MRI for cardiovascular disease; Rings and slings, and more.

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance provides you with up-to-date clinical applications of cardiovascular MRI for the broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic, myopathic, valvular, and congenital heart diseases, as well as great vessel and peripheral vascular disease. Editors Warren J. Manning and Dudley J. Pennell and their team of international contributors cover everything from basic MR physics to sequence design, flow quantification and spectroscopy to structural anatomy and pathology. Learn the appropriate role for CMR in a variety of clinical settings with reference to other modalities, practical limitations, and costs. With the latest information on contrast agents, MR angiography, MR spectroscopy, imaging protocols, and more, this book is essential for both the beginner and expert CMR practitioner. Covers both the technical and clinical aspects of CMR to serve as a comprehensive reference. Demonstrates the full spectrum of the application of cardiac MR from ischemic heart disease to valvular, myopathic, pericardial, aortic, and congenital heart disease. Includes coverage of normal anatomy, orientation, and function to provide you with baseline values. Discusses advanced techniques, such as interventional MR, to include essential information relevant to the specialist. Features appendices with acronyms and CMR terminology used by equipment vendors that serve as an introduction to the field. Uses consistent terminology and abbreviations throughout the text for clarity and easy reference. Covers both the technical and clinical aspects of CMR to serve as a comprehensive reference.
