11 Preface In recent years there have been tremendous advances in cardiac imaging techniques covering the complete spectrum from echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, magnetic resonance imaging to contrast angiography. With respect to these noninvasive and invasive cardiac imaging modalities, marked technological developments have allowed the cardiologist to visualize the myocardium in a far more refined manner than conventional imaging was capable of. Echocardiography has extended its domain with intravascular ultrasound, cardiovascular nuclear imaging has added positron emission tomography to its line of research, magnetic resonance imaging has been broadened with magnetic resonance angiography and spectroscopy, and finally contrast angiography has widened its scope with excellent quantitation programs. For all these imaging modalities it is true that the application of dedicated quantitative analytic software packages enables the evaluation of the imaging studies in a more accurate, reliable, and reproducible manner. It goes without saying that these extensions and achievements have resulted in improved diagnostics and subsequently in improved patient care. Particularly in patients with ischemic heart disease, major progress has been made to detect coronary artery disease in an early phase of the disease process, to follow the atherosclerotic changes in the coronary arteries, to establish the functional and metabolic consequences of the luminal obstructions, and to accurately assess the results of interventional therapy. For instance, intravascular ultrasound permits the early detection of coronary artery disease, magnetic resonance angiography can presently be used for screening of disease, nuclear imaging techniques using positron emission tomography may well be applied for evaluation of the functional and metabolic consequences of coronary artery lesions, and quantitative coronary angiography allows the assessment of successful interventional therapy. Advances in Imaging Techniques in Ischemic Heart Disease is a bibliographical 'image' of a Symposium, held on August 19, 1995, in Leiden. At this Symposium all major advances in cardiac imaging techniques in ischemic heart disease were addressed varying from intravascular ultrasound to positron emission tomography, and from magnetic resonance coronary angiography to quantitative contrast coronary angiography. In addition, major attainments in conventional imaging approaches were discussed such as new tracers for myocardial perfusion imaging, developments in contrast and stress echocardiography, and stress magnetic resonance imaging. Finally, the value of tbe various cardiac imaging techniques was highlighted in order to emphasize their important role in assessing the effects of interventional therapy such as early reperfusion xiii
12 xiv Preface and lipid lowering drugs. Based on the presentations of all speakers, this book consists of a compilation of manuscripts related to each of these specific topics. Herewith we like to acknowledge all individuals, societies, and institutions who have had a substantial contribution to our Symposium and therefore to the appearance of Advances in Imaging Techniques in Ischemic Heart Disease. First of all, we believe that the Symposium was unique because of three factors; 1) the Symposium was a joint venture between Leiden University Hospital and Cleveland Clinic International Center, 2) the Symposium was an international Boerhaave Course which has by nature a longstanding reputation, and 3) the Symposium included the prestigious Einthoven Lecture, this year presented by Rene G. Favoloro, Buenos Aires, Argentina. We express our gratitude to all authors and co-authors for making great efforts in preparing their superb up-to-date chapters at short-term. The authors are all excellent investigators in one or more fields of cardiac imaging and they have stimulated progress in cardiac imaging with the aim to improve patient care. We like to acknowledge our sponsors i.e. the Netherlands Society of Cardiology (NVVC), the Interuniversity Cardiology Institute of (ICIN), the Einthoven Foundation, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF), and Cleveland Clinic International Center (CCIC). We like to thank the Departments of Cardiology (Head Prof.dr. A.V.G. Bruschke), Radiology (Head Prof.dr. A.E. van Voorthuisen) and Nuclear Medicine (Head Prof.dr. E.K.J. Pauwels) of the Leiden University for their support in organizing the Symposium. In part, this book may also be considered as a mark of honour to Prof.dr. A.V.G. Bruschke who at the time of the Symposium has been head of the Department of Cardiology for a period of exactly 10 years as he moved from the St. Antonius Hospital (Nieuwegein, The Netherlands) to Leiden University in August We are very grateful to Dr. M. Razavi (Cleveland Clinic International Center) who as a Course Director, together with Prof. Bruschke, took the initiative to this joint Symposium and laid the basis for an excellent bilateral program. We are very much indebted to Mrs A.E.H. Zitter and Mr J.J.L. Muller (Boerhaave Committee, Leiden, The Netherlands) who superbly assisted us in organizing the Symposium. We like to acknowledge Mrs N. Dekker (Kluwer Academic Publis!1ers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands) and Mr J. Schoones (Leiden University Medical Library) who, together with Mrs A.E.H. Zitter, put a lot of effort in editing, preparing, and completing Advances in Imaging Techniques in Ischemic Heart Disease. Lastly, the appearance of this book would not have been possible without a generous grant from Byk Nederland B.V. (Zwanenburg, The Netherlands).
13 Preface xv We hope that this book will assist the cardiologist, the radiologist, the nuclear medicine physician, physicists, basic scientists, and the fellows who are in training for those specialties, in understanding the most recent achievements in cardiac imaging techniques in ischemic heart disease.
