    Abstract:
    A standard questionnaire, capable of describing chest pain sensations, has been offered for patients with coronary disease and neurocirculatory dystonia, and its diagnostic value is assessed. The questionnaire comprises five sections, each corresponding to a certain type of pain. A diagnostic statement is made after each section. The questionnaire can be analysed by a physician on the basis of individual clinical experience, or computer-processed. It possesses high sensitivity and specificity in detecting typical and atypical angina and cardialgia of different types. The questionnaire can identify a category of patients with chest pains, who require instrumental diagnostic investigation to specify their origin.
