For this reason, target 3.4 of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda aims at a 30% reduction in premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which include CVDs, by 2030.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eAmong CVDs, ischemic heart disease (IHD) plays an important role and, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), it was responsible for 15.96% of global deaths in 2017. Between 2000 and 2017, the number of IHD deaths worldwide increased by 0.26% per year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eSeveral imaging tools help to non-invasively diagnose, stratify risk and guide management in cardiac disease. They include nuclear cardiology techniques, using either SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography) or PET\/CT. While myocardial imaging with SPECT has been fully embraced by the cardiology community and is widely available worldwide, PET\/CT introduction has been slower, due not only to its higher costs, but also to the limited availability of PET\/VCT scanners, mostly utilized for oncological applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \n                \u003cp\u003eThis book is an invaluable tool for nuclear medicine physicians, cardiologists and radiologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783662644980\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Case-Study Approach\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783662644980","offer_id":40086721003613,"sku":"9783662644980","price":53.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/69c1863f-564e-4e68-bca8-252932fde146.jpg?v=1780116620","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/iaea-atlas-of-cardiac-pet-ct-von-undefined","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
