  • Provides current information about the use of imaging agents to assess cardiac innervation in patients with known or suspected heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction
  • Illustrates the structure and function of the autonomic nervous system and its role in the regulation of cardiac function, left ventricular remodeling, dysrhythmias, and heart failure
  • Features diagnostic algorithms and schematic diagrams integrated with imaging and color illustrations to emphasize key concepts in cardiovascular neurophysiology, pathology, and metabolism

About this book

This atlas elucidates the role of the neuronal component in normal cardiovascular function and cardiac disorders and discusses the currently available imaging targets and probes. It provides a foundation in cardiac neuronal imaging and image processing and serves as a guide in the effective utilization of these techniques in clinical and research settings. The atlas discusses the principles of autonomic control in the regulation of cardiac function and disease; chemistry and biology of radiotracers designed to target changes in the myocardial sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation as a function of disease or treatment; neuronal imaging in heart failure and reverse remodeling and the use of PET imaging in quantification of cardiac innervation; cardiac sympathetic innervation in ventricular arrhythmias and device therapy; conditions that affect the autonomic nervous system; and the role of myocardial blood flow and cardiac neuronal imaging in denervation and reinnervation in cardiactransplant recipients. Featuring full-color illustrations, schematic diagrams, and diagnostic algorithms, Atlas of Cardiac Innervation is a valuable resource for cardiologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and electrophysiologists.
