This is the seventh edition of a long-selling book (first edition 1991) that was translated into Italian, French, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, English. In the last ten years, stress echocardiography has exploded in its breadth and variety of applications.  From a one-fits-all approach (wall motion by 2D-echo in the patient with known or suspected coronary artery disease), the field has progressed to an omnivorous, next-generation laboratory employing a variety of technologies (from M-Mode to 2D, from pulsed, continuous, color and tissue Doppler to lung ultrasound) on patients covering the entire spectrum of severity (from elite athletes to patients with end-stage heart failure) and ages (from children with congenital heart disease to the elderly with aortic stenosis). This new edition is enriched with over 300 figures, 150 tables and   video-clips.  In a societal and economic climate of increasing pressure for appropriate, justified and optimized imaging, stress echocardiography offers the great advantages of being radiation-free, relatively low cost, with minimal environmental impact, and with a staggering versatility: we can get more (information) with less (cost and risk). The volume will be a tremendous aid to current best practices for all health operators who intend to use stress echocardiography and ultrasound for diagnosis and guidance of optimal management  in their patients.

Questo manuale è stato redatto allo scopo di introdurre il lettore con un approccio interdisciplinare nell’affascinante mondo delle immagini a colori. Abbiamo cercato di evitare le istruzioni passive a favore di un metodo didattico interattivo che si avvale della presentazione, alla fine di ciascun capitolo, di quesiti e problemi utili alla revisione di quanto riportato nel testo. Tale approccio semplifica l’apprendimento e la memorizzazione degli argomenti trattati, a vostro beneficio. Per lo stesso motivo, al fine di facilitare l’orientamento anatomico e l’identificazione delle strutture, abbiamo realizzato disegni esplicativi accanto alle complesse immagini eco-colorDoppler. Cercate di identificare le strutture indicate nei disegni con i numeri, prima di controllare la vostra risposta nel risvolto di copertina. L’esperienza insegna che questo è il metodo più immediato ed intuitivo di apprendimento, piuttosto che “navigare” tra i disegni e le abbreviazioni. Se prendete in considerazione l’aspetto sportivo, potreste trarre anche occasione di divertimento. L’approccio utilizzato in questo libro si basa sulla esperienza degli autori, raccolta nell’ambito di corsi didattici di istruzione all’ECD. I corsi interdisciplinari, parte integrante della Arbeitsgruppe Medizindidaktik Düsseldorf, limitati a gruppi di cinque partecipanti per tutor, hanno ottenendo grande successo e numerosi consensi (www.medidak.de). Quali docenti abbiamo raccolto l’adesione dei colleghi Franca Bergfelder, Jonathan Brück, Klemens Freitag, Ira Gabor, Arnd Giese, Fabian Girke, Maike Hüssmann, Anne Jäckel, Kai Jannusch, Kathrin Klein, Nicole Majewski, Alice e Ole Martin, Ralf Rulands, Stefan Schmidt, Thomas Schmidt, Isabelle Stetter, Christian Weigel, Daniel Weiss e Björn Wieland. Merita inoltre il nostro ringraziamento la ditta Samsung Electronics, che ha contribuito alle spese di stampa dell’Edizione tedesca e fornito alcune immagini. Ringraziamo anche la Sig.ra Ramona Sprenger ed il Sig. Jens Kellersmann che con cura meticolosa hanno svolto in silenzio il lavoro di rifinitura e fornito numerose proposte di modifica e miglioramento del creativo Layout editoriale e della veste grafica. È stato possibile riportare numerose immagini contenute nel capitolo della cardiologia grazie all’amicizia e disponibilità del Direttore della nostra clinica di Cardiologia, Broncopneumologia ed Angiologia, Sig. Univ. Prof. Dr. Malte Kelm. Ringrazio di cuore i due esperti colleghi Dr. Georg Groß e Dr. Alexis-Müller Marbach che con la loro preparazione hanno fornito preziosi ed utili suggerimenti nell’ambito gastroenterologico, nonché nell’iconografia, di facile comprensione per il lettore. Nella convinzione che la lettura di questo testo sia per voi stimolo per ulteriori approfondimenti degli argomenti trattati, vi auguro di utilizzare quanto appreso con successo nella vostra attività professionale.
