Interventional cardiology has transitioned from angiographic subjective analysis of stenosis severity into assessment of plaque characteristics and objective assessment of stenosis severity. The evolution of novel interventional imaging modalities is progressively altering our understanding of coronary artery disease diagnosis and prognosis. This book will be an essential companion to assist interventional cardiologists in better assessing patients with Coronary Artery Disease. It will encompass and review all interventional imaging modalities and provide guidance for interventional cardiologists to use these modalities.

Additional text
“It is intended to provide an overview of
present-day methods of invasive coronary imaging appropriate for any medical
provider involved in coronary angiography. Considering it is a practical review
of all available intracoronary imaging techniques, this book would be
beneficial for cardiology fellows and general and interventional cardiologists,
in addition to catheterization laboratory personnel. … This is an exceptional
reference for multiple levels of cardiology providers … .” (Samy Abdelghani,
