About this book
This book presents a thorough review of coronary angioscopy, ranging from instructions on its use to the latest advances. Starting with the structure and fundamental principles of angioscopy, it shows readers how to apply the image to comprehensive care of coronary-artery patients. Plentiful color photos and illustrations will enable readers to investigate and classify plaques and thrombi and to evaluate coronary stent- and drug-based therapies. The authors are leading researchers on angioscopy. This book offers the perfect guide not only for new clinicians but also for cardiologists who have already adopted this technique for medical examination and treatment. Angioscopy is a unique medical technique for visualizing the interior of blood vessels and helps physicians not only to diagnose the pathology but also to measure the effectiveness of Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or antiarteriosclerotic drugs. Furthermore, the recently developed molecular angioscopy approach allows us to observe Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxide, collagen, and macrophages, and is rapidly growing in importance.

Reviews
“This is a comprehensive guide to modern coronary diagnostics and interventional coronary care. It focuses on angioscopy, a relatively new tool that allows nonoperative imaging of coronary structures through the use of fiber optic systems. … It is a useful guide for interventional cardiologists in a technical practice that will have an expanding role in research and clinic practice.” (John C. Gulotta, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2015)
