Zusammenfassung

Die häufigsten Diagnosen bei Patienten mit Dyspnoe sind Asthma, chronisch obstruktive Lungenerkrankung, interstitielle Lungenerkrankung und Herzinsuffizienz. Akute Dyspnoe, definiert als Atemnot, die innerhalb von Minuten oder wenigen Stunden entsteht, wird im Allgemeinen von einer begrenzten Zahl von Grunderkrankungen verursacht und kann Ausdruck einer lebensbedrohlichen Situation sein, die dann einer akuten zielgerichteten Diagnostik mit konsekutiver lebensrettender Therapie nach den Leitlinien der verursachenden Grunderkrankung bedarf.

Abstract

Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, interstitial lung diseases and myocardial dysfunction are the leading diagnoses of patients with dyspnoea. Acute dysponea appears suddenly or within a few hours and is caused by a relatively limited number of conditions some of which can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to identify the cause of dyspnoea immediately. Once found, the disorder is treated according to the guidelines for the underlying disease.
