This highly illustrated text is written by a team of experts who use MRI for the diagnosis and evaluation of progression of cardiac disease in their patients. Recent research and publications show that high-resolution magnetic resonance has the potential to image coronary plaque; new contrast agents are aiding the diagnosis of underlying cardiac disease states; delayed-enhancement MRI helps in the diagnosis of fibrosis associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and that cardiac MRI has a role in percutaneous coronary interventions. All aspects of heart disease are covered in substantial detail.
