✦ Synopsis

This book provides a single reference that describes the application and performance of techniques and procedures performed by cardiologists. It includes descriptions of the technical aspects, clinical application and interpretation of the data generated during these testing modalities. The authors have provided a clinically focused guide to cardiac procedures aimed at clinical trainees and practitioners, including physicians as well as affiliated clinicians. Case studies are presented to further illustrate how these techniques are used in clinical practice.
