This text incorporates the latest examples of diagnostic imaging to illustrate the complex and varied manifestations of this condition. Emphasis is placed on those aspects most commonly encountered by cardiologists and general physicians. The book reviews epidemiology and clinical correlations of heart failure, including ischemic and coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathies and pericardial disease. Congenital disorders, infections and neoplastic disease are also covered.
