Corporate Support Catalog

When it comes to cardiovascular health, nuclear cardiology has emerged

as a reliable, non-invasive method of diagnosing and managing patients

with heart disease. The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC)

is the only professional organization dedicated to this dynamic specialty,

and the Society continues to grow and expand with the maturation of

the nuclear cardiology fi eld.

Your organization can be a part of the exciting changes in nuclear

cardiology by supporting the initiatives of ASNC and its affi liate, the

Nuclear Cardiology Foundation. Each year, ASNC and the Foundation

offer numerous opportunities for organizations to build relationships

with nuclear cardiology professionals and contribute to programs that

promote innovation and quality in cardiovascular imaging.

Join ASNC in its mission to advance the fi eld of nuclear cardiology and

bring your message to professionals who are committed to delivering

optimal care to their patients.
