Zusammenfassung

Dyspnoe ist ein subjektives Mißempfinden bei der Atmung, das wie wenige andere Symptome als beängstigend und bedrohend empfunden wird. Einer Vielzahl durch die Patienten geschilderter Mißempfindungen stehen zahlreiche Erklärungshypothesen gegenüber, die lange Zeit miteinander konkurrierten. Durch Arbeiten aus den letzten 10 Jahren ist heute klar, daß die Dyspnoe beim Gesunden wie beim Kranken als Ermüdungszeichen und damit als Schutzmechanismus der Atemmuskulatur verstanden werden kann. Das Fehlen oder die Dämpfung dieses Schutzmechanismus (bzw. die Adaptation an die Dyspnoe) kann lebensgefährliche Situationen hervorrufen. Die Diagnostik der Dyspnoe und deren ätiologisch begründete Therapie fordern ein genaues pathophysiologisches Verständnis der sehr differenten Ursachen, so daß eine eingehende Abklärung unumgänglich ist. Der vorliegende Artikel faßt das gegenwärtige Verständnis der Dyspnoe zusammen, legt die komplexe Pathophysiologie dar und schlägt diagnostische Algorithmen vor.
