Features: This book is divided into 3 parts, covering a total of 17 chapters. The first part briefly introduces the fundamental knowledge of experimental diagnosis for coronary heart disease, including coronary artery anatomy and pathology, as well as pathophysiology. The second part provides a detailed introduction to the conventional diagnostic techniques currently used in clinical practice, with a focus on the new technologies developed in recent years, such as high-resolution digital coronary angiography, contrast echocardiography and DTI technology, ultra-high-speed CT, MRI, PET, and their roles and values in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. The third part comprehensively and systematically introduces the laboratory diagnostic principles and methods for common types of coronary heart disease, integrating domestic and international new research findings, concepts, and insights based on the pathological and physiological processes of disease occurrence and development. It also objectively evaluates each diagnostic technique. The greatest feature of this book is its rich illustrations—whether it's non-invasive techniques like electrocardiography, echocardiography, or nuclear medicine diagnostics, or invasive procedures such as coronary angiography and imaging of coronary artery lesions, each is accompanied by informative images. Therefore, for physicians new to the field or working in grassroots hospitals, this book serves as a highly practical clinical reference.
