Noninvasive Imaging of Myocardial Ischemia provides a comprehensive discussion and review of the noninvasive myocardial imaging techniques that are currently available to detect myocardial ischemia and infarction. Topics covered include echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, positron emission tomography, and computed tomography. There are also chapters on myocardial imaging techniques in the evaluation of asymptomatic individuals, prognostic assessments of patients with CAD by noninvasive imaging techniques, and imaging in the Emergency Department in patients with chest pain. Risk stratification in patients with coronary heart disease, imaging techniques used to distinguish hibernating from irreversibly injured myocardium, and myocardial imaging in non-coronary and congenital heart disease causes of myocardial ischemia.
