Treatment of cardialgia in Germany
“Modern approaches to the treatment of cardialgia: from differential diagnosis to complex therapy
Cardialgia is a pain syndrome in the heart area that is not associated with an acute violation of the coronary circulation. Unlike angina, these pains have a variety of origins and can be caused by both cardiac and non-cardiac causes. According to statistics, up to 30% of patients in cardiology clinics complain specifically about cardialgia.
RheinRegio Klinik Zentrum (Germany) uses an integrated approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cardialgia, which makes it possible to accurately determine the cause of the pain syndrome and select effective therapy.
