note = "Funding Information: It is our pleasure to present this issue of the Radiologic Clinics of North America at a critical time for cardiovascular radiology. Radiologists have always played a central role in the development of angiocardiography and nearly all other cardiac diagnostic imaging modalities. However, during the past quarter of a century, cardiologists have dominated these procedures. This is due in part to the disproportionate funding of cardiology training grants from the National Institutes of Health. Furthermore, the growth of cardiology training programs and cardiologists trained in imaging has increased self referral of patients for cardiac imaging. This has resulted in the progressive erosion of cardiac radiology training. Whereas divisions of cardiac radiology were once thriving in academic centers, decreased patient volume resulted in decreased stimulus and interest in learning or teaching in a field that appeared to exclude radiologist involvement. Today, most radiology training programs have no structured programs in cardiac imaging, and most radiology departments have no fellowship-trained cardiac radiology faculty. ",
