In conjunction with traditional methods of diagnosing cardiovascular disease, non-invasive imaging modalities can be used to evaluate the presence of surrogate markers of atherosclerosis. This volume details the scientific and clinical support for this process. Areas covered include echocardiography to identify left ventricular hypertrophy and atherosclerosis, contrast-enhanced stress echocardiography, measurement of coronary artery flow by transthoracic Doppler ultrasound, noninvasive coronary angiography using multidetector computed tomography, and the latest advances in coronary artery plaque imaging by computed tomography. The book also discusses vascular imaging, treatment of emerging risk factors. and the clinical signs of atherosclerosis.
