Abstract

Somatoform symptoms are found in many cardiological patients. They often lead to extensive diagnostic testing and ineffective therapy. They tend to chronify and require special medical and interactional skills of physicians and psychotherapists. Basic psychosomatic care and psychotherapy provide specific techniques that help to successfully address the patients' underlying psychosocial problems.Drug treatment as an additional option is especially indicated in cases of psychiatric comorbidity.

Zusammenfassung

Funktionelle Herz-Kreislauf-Beschwerden sind in der ärztlichen Praxis häufig und mit extensiver Diagnostik und ineffizienter Therapie verknüpft. Häufig finden sich chronifizierte Verläufe. Die Behandlung stellt besondere Anforderungen an den Arzt und an den Psychotherapeuten, denen jedoch mit spezifischen Techniken im Rahmen der psychosomatischen Grundversorgung bzw. Psychotherapie erfolgreich begegnet werden kann. Eine medikamentöse Therapie ist v. a. bei psychischer Komorbidität indiziert.
