Reviews

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)
