This extensively revised edition of this important textbook provides a practical approach to the use of nuclear cardiology for the general cardiologist. It is an adjunct to the existing literature in nuclear cardiology, providing a simple case-based approach to understanding the methodology, application and outcomes of the modality, and representing a pocket-sized compendium designed for a clinical cardiology audience. Nuclear cardiology procedures have been a mainstay in noninvasive testing for the diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary artery disease for many years. Although a mature field with a multitude of clinical applications, the advances in the technology and imaging procedures have been remarkable and important to document.
Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology: Cardiac SPECT and Cardiac PET reviews the important indications for choosing nuclear cardiology procedures and provides a description of the procedures themselves, including both SPECT and PET imaging protocols, as well as supplying readers with a the key readings resources. It emphasizes how noninvasive testing results can be used clinically and the appropriateness of such techniques using a concise and logical structure, vital for trainees, practicing physicians, nurses and technologists looking for a brief, up-to-date overview and reference volume for nuclear cardiology. It therefore represents an essential reference for a large number of cardiologists internationally looking for information in the field.
Robert C. Hendel, M.D., is a Professor of Medicine and Radiology, specializing in the diagnosis and management of complex cardiac diseases with a particular focus on cardiac imaging and the appropriate use of cardiovascular technology. He has authored more than 200 publications and 8 textbooks as well as given invited lectures in more than 15 countries. He is a past president of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology and of the Cardiovascular Council of the Society of Nuclear Medicine. He has also served in leadership roles in the American College of Cardiology, including two terms as a Trustee of this organization. He also has been a member of editorial boards for multiple journals.
Gary V. Heller, MD, PhD has more than 30 years of experience in clinical cardiology and nuclear cardiology. He established the first PET program in Connecticut that focused on cardiac perfusion, myocardial viability assessment and cardiac sarcoid. He is a former program director of the Cardiovascular Fellowship Program at Hartford Hospital/University of Connecticut School of Medicine. Dr. Heller is past-president of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology and has been a member of the Editorial Boards of several journals including American Journal of Cardiology, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, and the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology. He is also past-president of the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), as well as past-president of the IAC-Nuclear-PET Division.
