Research and clinical ex-perience are continually expanding our knowledge, in particular our knowledge of proper treatment and drug therapy. Insofar as this book mentions any do-sage or application, readers may rest as-sured that the authors, editors, and pu-blishers have made every effort to en-sure that such references are in accor-dance with the state of knowledge at the time of production of the book. Nevertheless, this does not involve, im-ply, or express any guarantee or respon-sibility on the part of the publishers in respect to any dosage instructions and forms of application stated in the book. Every user is requested to examine ca-refully the manufacturer’s leaflets ac-companying each drug and to check, if necessary in consultation with a physi-cian or specialist, whether the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manu-facturers differ from the statements made in the present book. Such exami-nation is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on the market. Every dosage schedule or every form of application used is entirely at the user’s own risk and responsibility. The authors and publishers request every user to re-port to the publishers any discrepancies or inaccuracies noticed. Some of the product names, patents, and registered designs referred to in this book are in fact registered trademarks or proprietary names, even though specific reference to this fact is not always made in the text. Therefore, the appearance of a name without designation as proprie-tary is not to be construed as a represen-tation by the publisher that it is in the public domain. This book, including all parts thereof, is legally protected by copyright. Any use, exploitation, or commercialization out-side the narrow limits set by copyright legislation, without the publisher’s con-sent, is illegal and liable to prosecution.

Technical improvements guarantee further developments in diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have attained a recognized value in the diagnosis of the heart, which is continuing to increase. For this reason, we have now provided a separate chapter on diagnostic imaging of the heart. We have placed sectional CT images next to MR images of the heart to facilitate classifica-tion. We have limited ourselves to scans which are presently recognized as standard. In the CT images of the coronary vessels of the heart we have diverged from the conventional designations and numbered the vessels as suggested by the American Heart Association in 1975. Other procedures in MRI and CT visualization of the vascular system have also further improved. For example, stepwise shifts of the table top have become standard procedures in angiography of the pelvis and leg. Like earlier editions, this edition contains current original images comple-mented by color illustrations on the opposite page. We have continued to follow our successful method, which combines great clarity with a high level of detail. For the production of images we are especially grateful to our radiology assistants, Silke Köhl, Sabine Mattil, Stefanie Müller, Heike Philippi, Bri-gitte Schild, Petra Weber, and Tanja Breunig, and also to Birgit Reuter and Marion Hellinger of the Siemens Manufacturing Center. We owe the good coronary CTs on our 64-line CT to our colleagues Christoph Buntru and Heike Ringling. We express our heartfelt gratitude for intensive discussi-ons and helpful suggestions to our colleagues Sigrid Roth and Simone Zenner. Torsten B.
