[Differentiation of organic heart diseases and functionally conditioned cardiovascular disorders with special reference to heart-ache].

Functional cardiovascular disturbances are very often in daily practice. Making of the diagnosis is possible by the exclusion of organic heart diseases, the behaviour and the special personal structure of the patient. Functional cardiovascular disturbances may manifest themselves as disturbances of the cardiac rhythm, circulatory dysregulations and so-called heart-aches, in which cases most different variations are possible. They coincide isolately, but also additionally with organic heart diseases, which emphasizes the necessity of thorough examinations. In detail the author enters into heart-ache and its differentiation in concomitant unspecific changes of the final part in the ECG.
