Preface
Coronary Heart Disease Clinical, Pathological, Imaging, and Molecular Profiles This book will present a comprehensive picture of ischemic heart disease to those who, either as practitioners, students or investigators, deal with the varied facets of this complex subject. It has meaning to the fields of clinical cardiology, thoracic surgery, pathology, and cardiovascular molecular research. After introductory chapters on the anatomy of the coronary blood vessels and cardiac development, several chapters will consider stress echo and nuclear diagnostics tests, noninvasive imaging and coronary angiography in ischemic heart disease, with techniques, indications, and examples of normal and abnormal patterns. In most instances, angiograms are paired with labeled line drawings, which help the initiated in the reading of films. Specific chapters will deal with congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries, which may engender states of ischemic heart disease. The principal thrust of the work concerns the main arena of ischemic h
