Revisiting Cardiac Anatomy: A Computed–Tomography–Based Atlas and Reference

This new atlas represents an entirely fresh approach to the study of cardiac anatomy, employing computed tomography images of unparalleled quality to show the heart and aortic root in vivo, with an accuracy that illustrations and other imaging modalities may not match. Accompanying explanatory text, written by leading international experts, guides the reader through what is being shown and explains the clinically relevant underlying anatomic concepts.
Organized for both systematic learning and also to serve as a quick, yet detailed reference for specific clinical questions, this text–atlas is an invaluable resource for medical students, residents and fellows, radiologists, cardiologists, interventionalists, electrophysiologists, and cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons who depend on ever more detailed imaging for superior diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease.
