Synopsis

attention to the cardiac effect of pulmonary vascular disease, the cardiovascular comorbidities of COPD and the cardiovascular causes and effects of their acute exacerbation, the cardiorespiratory tropism of sarcoidosis or scleroderma, as well as the management of equivocal symptoms which can be of either cardiac or respiratory origin. The reader may ? nd overlaps between chapters. These are certainly red- dant if they express converging opinions while, in contrast, interesting if they express con? icting opinions resulting from the author’s own experience and demonstrate that the use of imaging at the boundary between heart and lungs has not yet found its balance. The reader may also encounter chapters lacking suf? cient detail, such as the study of the cardio-pericardiac extent of neighbouring diseases (med- stinal, bronchopulmonary, pleural or even sub-diaphragmatic), or of therap- tic interactions between heart and lungs, a review of which alone would have merited a book of this size. We would like to express our profound gratitude to all the authors who c- tributed to this book, which represents a collective work of pioneers who have just opened the door to a new specialty.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The development of fast scanning techniques and ultrahigh temporal resolution, which can be employed for both ECG-gated and nongated examinations of the chest, has made integrated cardiothoracic imaging a reality. This timely, well-illustrated book, written by recognized experts in the field, addresses the potential value of such imaging. The first and second parts discuss the technological background and the cardiac and coronary artery anatomy and physiology, while the third part examines heart–lung physiological and therapeutic interactions. The fourth part, which forms the main body of the book, examines in detail the various clinical applications of integrated cardiothoracic imaging, including cardiac complications of thoracic disorders, thoracic consequences of cardiac diseases, ambiguous symptomatology such as chest pain and hemoptysis, asymptomatic cardiac diseases, pericardial disease, and lung perfusion evaluation. A principal aim of the book is to demonstrate that general radiologists can participate in screening for cardiac and coronary artery lesions in at-risk populations scanned owing to respiratory symptoms.
