A Comprehensive Guide to Coronary Artery Disease: Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Management is a novel work which focuses solely on coronary artery issues. This contrasts with other cardiology books, which may provide an overview of the subject, but do not take a deep dive into this specialized field. This book covers various essential aspects related to the anatomy, embryology, anomalies, physiology, pathology, imaging, and disease management of the coronary system. Coronary anatomy and embryology explore the intricate details of vessel nomenclature, origination, and embryologic significance. A section on coronary anomalies discusses their incidence, diagnosis, and clinical implications. Meanwhile, information on coronary physiology explores non-pathological functions and adaptations to stressors. Further, this book details coronary atherosclerosis, including pathological processes and treatment options. A non-atherosclerotic coronary anatomy section addresses pathologies impacting coronary arteries in other ways.

A Comprehensive Guide to Coronary Artery Disease: Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Management highlights both invasive and non-invasive imaging techniques, with a focus on coronary CTA and CT-guided PCI. Intravascular imaging methods such as IVUS and OCT are elaborated on in assessing coronary health. Coronary ischemia assessment using physiological parameters and unresolved questions regarding symptoms are also fundamental to this volume. For professionals seeking consolidated information on an oft-overlooked topic, they need look no further than this book.
