Functional Heart Complaints

Abstract

Functional Heart Complaints Abstract. Functional complaints often manifest as cardiac symptoms (palpitations, thoracic complaints, reduced performance, dyspnea). Prognostically relevant clinical situations must be identified or excluded through targeted diagnostics. In the absence of prognostically relevant diseases action is wanted only in the case of subjective suffering, which is significantly influenced by the patient's emotional processing of the experience. Various therapy options can be used to treat functional heart complaints (do nothing/ignore symptoms, optimal treatment of any underlying diseases, phytotherapy, antiarrhythmic drugs, interventional therapy, physical training, psychocardiological treatment, resilience strengthening etc.).
