Cardiovascular Imaging Arterial and Aortic Valve Inflammation and Calcification /

This book provides comprehensive reviews on our most recent understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis and calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) as visualized in animal models and patients using optical molecular imaging, PET-CT, ultrasound, and MRI. In addition...
