Abstract

The rapid development of therapy necessitates early diagnosis in all clinical spheres because the attainable result of the therapy depends on this. It is especially true in the case of cardial and cerebrovascular events. Since events in the thoracic cavity--life threatening or not--cause pain, the authors, based on their own experience and on the literature, present a summary of the various differential diagnoses of chest pain. The authors discuss the causes of chest pain, grouping them according to their risk, frequency and topography. Even in possession of modern and heavy-duty diagnostical and therapeutical possibilities, it is not indispensable, what is more, it is necessary to analyse chest pain as a symptom in detail, with the aim of reaching the most favourable benefit/risk and benefit/cost ratio, respectively.
