Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications, 3e AB - Despite many advances in therapy, chronic heart failure remains a prevalent condition with a high mortality rate.1 The successful treatment of heart failure patients requires establishing an accurate diagnosis, identifying potentially reversible etiologies, determining the optimal therapy, and reliable risk assessment for stratification of patients at high risk for worsening. Several of these aspects of heart failure care can be gainfully evaluated via radionuclide imaging. This chapter will review established applications of radionuclide imaging in heart failure.
