This outstanding guide gives up-to-the-minute information on the rapidly expanding role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis and management of ischemic, valvular, myopathic, pericardial, aortic, and congenital heart disease. From basic concepts to techniques and applications, noted experts discuss the technical aspects of CMR and how they should be applied in clinical practice. They also explain the physiological aspects of the heart and how the latest technology can be applied to better understand and quantify pathology.

This Atlas is a comprehensive, four-color visual compendium of CMR images, photomicrographs, anatomic illustrations, tables, and charts paired with extensive legends and explanations drawn from the latest peer-reviewed literature. In addition to providing historical perspective and current direction for CMR, this atlas focuses on research involving coronary artery diseases and anomalies, congestive heart failure, atherosclerotic plaques, and asymptomatic disease. The Atlas details imaging techniques, including preparation, acquisition, and processing, for study of the great vessels and carotids, the peripheral vasculature, and the coronary and pulmonary veins. Also included are discussions of the role of CMR in the emergency department and in clinical cardiology and private cardiology practices.
