Description
Overview
Coronary Artery Territories (Echocardiography Illustrated), 2nd edition, offers an authoritative and detailed examination of coronary artery anatomy and its critical role in echocardiographic assessment. This book provides an in-depth understanding of the anatomical origin and orientation of epicardial coronary arteries as well as their microvascular supply to ventricular walls. Enhanced by clear illustrations and comprehensive sections, it bridges anatomical knowledge to practical echocardiographic applications, especially in wall motion analysis.
Structured to align with clinical practice, this edition delves into left and right ventricular segmentation, correlating these segments with their respective coronary artery territories. It highlights the importance of echocardiographic views for identifying regional and global myocardial function, including insights into stress echocardiography and advanced deformation imaging techniques.
Key Topics Covered
- Anatomical origin and orientation of epicardial coronary arteries
- Coronary artery microvasculature and ventricular wall blood supply
- Segmentation of left and right ventricles linked to coronary artery territories
