[Which anamnestic data and which findings are meaningful in assessing coronary circulatory function in disability evaluation?]. / Welche anamnestischen Angaben und welche Befunde sind für die Beurteilung der Herz-Kreislauf-Funktion bei der Begutachtung bedeutsam?

For the judgement of the function of heart and circulation in the expert's opinion concerning invalidity are significant; anamnestic data (dyspnoea, angina pectoris, giddiness, disturbances of consciousness); clinical findings (cyanosis, dyspnoea, stasis of the jugular vein, pulse, heart sounds and extrasounds, enlargement of the liver, oedemata); paraclinical findings (thorax-x-ray, ECG, ergometry). Already by a critically made anamnesis a classification according to clinical degrees of severity (NYHA) can be done. By synopsis of anamnesis, clinical and paraclinical findings apart from the establishment of a diagnosis an objective estimation of the disease-related restriction of the working capacity is possible. All data necessary for the judgement must be in the expert's opinion.
