title: [Differential diagnosis between a cardiophobic syndrome of schizophrenic genesis and chronic coronary disease with neurotic reactions].
abstract: The author studied 15 patients with cardiophobia in a mental and somatic hospital. It was established that schizophrenic patients with a cardiophobic syndrome quite frequently are admitted to somatic hospitals where they are first regarded as patients with stenocardia and neurotic symptoms. An erroneous diagnosis led to respective and incorrect treatment which aggravated hypochondriacal fixations of these patients. The author describes the structure of cardiophobic syndromes; raptiod cenesthopathic-hypochondric in schizophrenia and simple anxious-neurotic with secondary vegetative reactions in stenocardia. The report contains descriptions of development of a neurotic and neurotic-like cardiophobic syndrome.
