title: [Pain in the cardiac area--possibilities of algological diagnosis].
abstract: Based on examinations of patients suffering from pains in the heart area, the authors demonstrate possibilities of an algological study in the clinical assessment of the intensity of pain experience. A method of algological testing is described. Correlations established as a result of the study between graphic and verbal estimations of pain experience, "life quality" in patients with different educational levels, sex, and age suggest that the given method may be used to objectively evaluate the pain intensity.
