Description
All aspects of coronary atheroma and ischemic heart disease -- beautifully depicted in vibrant color! This brand-new atlas from renowned cardiac pathologist Dr. Michael Davies details normal anatomy and structure, disease processes, coronary plaque, myocardial ischemia, atherosclerosis, non-atherosclerotic coronary disease, and interventional vascular disease. The illustrations are clear and true to life; the perfuse fixed human coronary arteries are shown as they would be seen by the naked eye, and the morphology is related to the angiographic appearances seen in post-mortem studies. You'll find these pictures identical to the angiograms encountered in everyday practice, making identification easy and diagnosis accurate
