This text is written for the physician and student who would like to find a simplified exposition of our current understanding of the biochemical and biophysical basis of cardiac function. Virtually every change in cardiac function arises from alterations in these physical and chemical processes which are responsible for the heartbeat. This book is intended to provide a broad view of our present knowledge in this rapidly expanding area. Major emphasis is on the relationships between the biochemical properties of the individual constituents of the myocardial cell, the biophysics of cardiac muscle function, the performance of the intact heart, and the expression of these processes as abnormal contractile and electrical behavior in man.

Radionuclide myocardial imaging is increasingly used to detect and assess the extent of heart disease. Extensive basic investigations and clinical trials from several institutions have clearly delineated the clinical usefulness and documented the clinical situations where imaging is of considerable diagnostic value. Of the several radionuclides used to image the myocardium, thallium-201 has emerged as the best clinical myocardial imaging agent, due to its favorable biologic and physical characteristics.
This monograph summarizes in detail the current knowledge of thallium-201 as an imaging agent. It is directed to both the experienced user who wishes a "state-of-the-art" review, and to the nuclear physician or cardiologist just beginning to implement clinical thallium imaging. Particular emphasis has been placed on practical details needed to obtain excellent clinical images and correctly interpret the results.
The book begins with a review of myocardial imaging agents to provide a historical perspective to those new to this field. Subsequent chapters develop the basic biologic and physical properties of thallium-201, the pertinent pathophysiologic concepts upon which imaging techniques are based, and extensive clinical studies of thallium imaging in acute myocardial infarction, chronic angina pectoris, evaluation of coronary surgery, and noncoronary heart disease. Also included is a discussion of the radiopharmaceutical production of thallium-201 and the application of digital computers to data collection and analysis.
