Der akute Thoraxschmerz – Schritt für Schritt

Der akute Thoraxschmerz gehört zu den wichtigsten internistischen Leitsymptomen. Anamnese, Inspektion, körperliche Untersuchung, Basisdiagnostik mittels 12-Kanal-EKG und Laborchemie sind essenziell, um die vielfältigen Ursachen abzuklären. Bildgebung, verschiedene Scores und die Einteilung in kardiale und nicht kardiale Verdachtsdiagnose helfen, unmittelbar lebensbedrohliche Krankheitsbilder schnell und sicher zu identifizieren.

Abstract

Acute chest pain is one of the most important cardinal symptoms in medicine. There are several important differential diagnoses for chest pain. Therefore, a thorough history and physical examination, as well as the 12-lead ECG and laboratory tests are crucial. In clinical practice, it is useful to distinguish between cardiac chest pain and other forms of chest pain in order to treat patients appropriately and to exclude potentially life-threatening conditions.
