In accordance with the current German, European, and US guidelines, this CME-article provides a comprehensive review of the disease. In addition, selected up-to-date aspects of epidemiology, etiopathology, genetics, and basic principles of diagnostics and therapy including potential future therapeutic options are discussed.
