Contrast Media in the Cardiovascular System

  • Chapter
Radiocontrast Agents

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 73))

Abstract

This chapter is a review of current knowledge of the cardiovascular effects of contrast media, examining the literature on this subject over the past 1½ decades. In the previous encyclopedia on radiocontrast agents [1], Almen comprehensively reviewed the published information dealing with the cardiovascular effects of contrast media up to the year 1968. As in other areas of biomedical research the output of scientific papers and new concepts on this subject in the past decade has approached, and on some topics surpassed, the total output prior to this time.
