  • Title: [Cardiac pain in geriatrics].
    Author: Ludwig G.
    Journal: Z Gerontol; 1985; 18(5):298-301. PubMed ID: 4072340.
    Abstract:
    The atypical symptoms of coronary heart disease combined with an altered pain threshold and pain sensitivity in older patients make it difficult for the geriatrician to diagnose this disease. Clinical diagnostic methods cannot always be used in older patients. Therefore the physician must have a heightened awareness for unspecific symptoms which can signal coronary heart disease in the geriatric patient. In addition one must also use specific geriatric considerations in the management of angina pectoris.
