Abstract:
Nuclear imaging plays a pivotal role not only in in the evaluation of myocardial ischemia, but also in the evaluation of cardiac infectious, inflammatory, infiltrative and innervation disorders. Myocardial ischemia and viability, cardiac amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, large vessel vasculitis, infective endocarditis, infected cardiac implantable electronic devices, vascular graft infection, and myocardial innervation dysfunction are the main indications for the use of nuclear medicine procedures in both diagnosis and response assessment. With this summarized paper we share a comprehensive review of the role and the use of nuclear cardiology in different cardiac diseases.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
