Advances in medical imaging now make it possible to investigate any patient with cardiovascular disease using multiple methods which vary widely in their technical requirements, benefits, limitations, and costs. The appropriate use of alternative tests requires their integration into joint clinical diagnostic services where experts in all methods collaborate. This statement summarizes the principles that should guide developments in cardiovascular diagnostic services.

Key Words: Cardiovascular imaging • Clinical services • Training • Guidelines • Research
