Cardiac MRI: Clinical Uncertainty and Patient Outcomes weaves together the essentials of clinical cardiology with advanced principles of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. This case-based atlas reviews a variety of cases where clinical management was modified after CMR revealed an alternative diagnosis than initially suggested by clinical data. It includes over 40 clinical scenarios covering a wide spectrum of common and uncommon cardiac conditions, and how CMR can be utilized in differentiating these disease processes which often have no other method of being diagnosed. This book defines how Cardiac MRI can serve as a valuable tool in the diagnosis of complex cardiac pathologies and aid in the complex treatment management of these patients, whilst key points regarding the limitations of cardiac tests (e.g. EKG, echocardiography, stress tests, catheterization etc.) are highlighted. Additional imaging pearls regarding CMR modalities and image acquisition are also included with each case.Through this book, clinicians in both sub-specialty and primary can understand when to order a cardiac MRI for their patient and the clinical questions it can help the provider solve. The book serves as a reference tool for both cardiologists and radiologists in terms of elucidating how CMR can be utilized as a clinical diagnostic tool to guide management. Whether you take care of complex patients or interpret advanced imaging modalities, like echocardiography or Cardiac MRI, this book is for you!

This highly comprehensive and informed textbook has been prepared by the Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance section of the European Society of Cardiology association on imaging, the EACVI. The EACVI Textbook of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is the authority on the subject.The textbook is aligned with ESC Core Curriculum and EACVI Core Syllabus for CMR. It is a practical resource and provides a disease orientated outlook on the subject. Structured with thirteen clear and detailed sections, ranging from Physics to Methodology, and featuring specific sections on ischemic heart disease, myocardial disease, pericardial disease, and congenital heart disease and adult congenital heart disease, The EACVI Textbook of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance provides extensive knowledge across the entire subject area in CMR. Beautifully illustrated and physical principles enriched with schematic animations, the textbook is advanced further with key video content based on clinical cases. Written by leading experts in the field from across the world, the textbook aims to summarise the existing research and clinical evidence for the various CMR indications and provide an invaluable resource for cardiologists and radiologists across the board.The textbook is ideal for cardiologists and radiologists new to the field of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, those preparing for ESC certification in CMR, and those established in the field wishing to gain a deep understanding of CMR.Online access to the digital version is included with purchase of the print book, with accompanying videos referenced within the text available on Oxford Medicine Online.
