Abstract
A comprehensive understanding of the heart in health and disease requires detailed knowledge of multiple functional parameters such as integrity of the cardiac anatomy, adequacy of vascular supply during both rest and stress conditions, local and global mechanical function, and, ideally, the underlying metabolism. These parameters are now obtained through a multiplicity of separate methods, including echocardiography, radionuclide, imaging, coronary angiography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
