This atlas provides a detailed visual resource of how sophisticated non-invasive imaging relates to the anatomy observed in a variety of cardiovascular pathologies. It includes investigation of a wide range of defects in numerous cardiac structures. Mitral valve commissures, atrioventricular septal junction and right ventricular outflow tract plus a wealth of other structures are covered, offering readers a comprehensive integrative experience to understand how anatomic subtleties are revealed by modern imaging modalities.Atlas of Non-Invasive Imaging in Cardiac Anatomy provides a detailed set of visual instructions that is of use to any cardiovascular professional needing to understand the orientation of a patient’s imaging. Therefore this is an essential guide for all trainee and practicing cardiologists, cardiac imagers, cardiac surgeons and interventionists.

Über Autor(innen)

Francesco Faletra, has been the head of the cardiac imaging department at Cardiocentro Ticino in Lugano, Switzerland since 2005.  His focus is on 3D TEE and he regularly takes classes on this topic at cardiologists coming from all Europe.  During his career, he has been the author of numerous books and chapters. Jagat Narula is a world-renowned physician-scientist in cardiovascular medicine and imaging, and leads the cardiac services at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s Hospital. He is involved in clinical and basic research in the field of cardiovascular imaging. He has made contributions to the imaging of apoptotic cell death in heart muscle, and to the imaging of atherosclerotic plaques vulnerable to rupture. S. Yen Ho is a Consultant Cardiac Morphologist with an international reputation for research and education in congenital heart disease and arrhythmias, including morphological correlates with cardiac imaging, surgery, interventions and arrhythmias. She organizes and directs numerous short courses on cardiac anatomy and congenital heart malformations for postgraduates and practitioners including the original and renowned ‘Hands-on Cardiac Morphology’ course at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London.
