Rezensionen

"An updated text, which has the merit of taking stock of the
situation in a field, the management of cardiovascular risk, where
the fast and sudden classification of the patient is essential . .
. In conclusion, the work is properly addressed to all those who
wish to have an overview of the management of patients at risk for
cardiovascular disease, including nuclear physicians involved in
nuclear cardiology." (Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging, 2010)

"This is an extremely valuable book for practicing physicians
and researchers of cardiovascular disease. I highly recommend it
for every medical library." (Doody's Reviews, May
2009)
