Zusammenfassung

Patienten mit akutem Brustschmerz stellen sich sowohl in der Praxis als auch in der Notaufnahme eines Krankenhauses häufig vor. Die Differenzialdiagnose umfasst neben kardialen Ursachen multiple andere Ursachen. Die Brustschmerzambulanzen in kardiologischen Praxen/Kliniken sind Ergänzung und wichtige Kooperationspartner der klinischen Chest-Pain-Units im Rahmen eines integrierten regionalen Versorgungskonzeptes für Patienten mit akuter Brustschmerzsymptomatik. Dort sollen akute Brustschmerzen im Hinblick auf mögliche kardiale oder thorakal-vaskuläre Ursachen zeitnah und mit hoher fachlicher Kompetenz abgeklärt werden. In diesem Konsensuspapier werden die organisatorischen Strukturmerkmale und Versorgungspfade für die Etablierung von Brustschmerzambulanzen und ihre Zertifizierung durch die DGK beschrieben.

Abstract

Chest pain is one of the most common problems in ambulatory settings as well as in emergency rooms of hospitals. The so-called “Brustschmerz-Ambulanzen”, which is the German translation of “outpatient clinics for chest pain”, are the ambulatory correlates of clinical chest pain units. The Brustschmerz-Ambulanzen complement clinical chest pain units in establishing fast ambulatory triage pathways for patients with acute chest pain. This consensus paper describes the organisational structures and pathways for the establishment of Brustschmerz-Ambulanzen and their accreditation by the German Cardiac Society.
