Preface
Ever since the establishment of invasive coronary angiography, the limitations of the technique have not gone unnoticed. As a result, multiple invasive imaging modalities have been developed in an attempt to characterize the true severity of coronary artery disease as well as guide the percutaneous coronary interventions. Invasive imaging modalities have included ultrasound, optical, and chemographic technologies. Moreover, physiological assessment of the degree of the coronary blood flow has also been performed through fractional and coronary flow assessments. This book provides an overview of the current available invasive coronary imaging modalities in an attempt to present a concise review of their current technologies, indications, appropriate use, and pitfalls. It is an invaluable tool for interventional cardiologists and cardiologists in training who wish to have a concise and practical review of all these modalities. Royal Oak, MI, USA
