Abstract:
To determine frequency of neuromusculoskeletal etiology of chest pain is performed. By means of a retrospective analysis and on the basis of the history of the patients' disease, data were collected after chest pain had been medically worked out. The causes to chest pain were in 82% of cardial etiology, in 9% of neuromusculoskeletal etiology, in 6% of gastrointestinal etiology and 3% others. All the patients suffering from neuromusculoskeletal causes to chest pain were, besides anti-rheumatic therapy, also treated by certain form of cardiac therapy. The task of a doctor is to accurately recognize serious disorders as possible causes to chest pain. However, the doctor must not make wrong diagnosis of potentially dangerous conditions thus causing unwanted psychological and economical consequences. In order to realize this, adequate diagnostic possibilities are necessary besides the knowledge about all possible causes to chest pain.
