Can Imaging Improve Our Understanding of Cardiovascular Pathophysiology?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent advances in noninvasive imaging technology now allow us to simultaneously investigate cardiovascular anatomy, soft tissue characteristics, and disease activity as pathological processes occur in the body. Moreover, this can be performed at different anatomic locations so that the interplay between different organ systems can be interrogated. This offers us a powerful tool with which to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying cardiovascular disease and the adverse events that ensue.
