[Cardiac syndrome X].
Cardial syndrome X (CSX) is a rare condition. Patients who suffer from it complain of exhausting chest pain attacks and other symtoms whose causes are unknown. Such patients are usually treated at conventional cardiological hospitals without any clearly proven therapeutic effect. Various therapeutic programs have been proposed to treat CSX. The population of CSX patients is heterogenous, which demonstrates a multifactorial nature of the syndrome and explains why it is necessary to apply a strictly individual approach in each case, using both pharmaceuticals and psychosocial factors. In spite of good long-term prognosis, the quality of patients' life is low.
