Atherosclerosis: Clinical Perspectives Through Imaging is aimed at practicing clinicians and relies on didactic tabular and bullet points and a host of fine imagery describing the common features of the imaging of atherosclerosis, enabling the reader to understand more about the advantages and limitations of each modality in investigating athersclosis. Edited by and contributed to by a host of international experts in cardiac imaging, this book is a must read by all who image the heart.

From the reviews:

“It is written for cardiovascular specialists and clinicians of all interests who evaluate patients at high risk for coronary artery disease, from family practitioners and internists to nurse practitioners. … Each chapter is supplemented adequately with high quality pictures and diagrams that effectively illustrate the authors’ ideas very well. … a good guide to using currently available imaging technologies to evaluate and assess atherosclerotic disease burden and its associated cardiovascular risk. It is a valuable addition to the library of clinicians caring for cardiac patients.” (Nay Htyte, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2013)
