摘要
The diagnostic pathway for the evaluation of patients with dyspnea requires a thorough history taking and physical examination. Based on the results of these basic steps a broad variety of additional diagnostic tests are available. Each test can contribute valuable information when correctly indicated and performed. Among these are electrocardiography (ECG), laboratory parameters, X-ray examination, echocardiography, spirometry and whole body plethysmography and finally spiroergometry. This article presents a focused review of what each of these diagnostic modalities can contribute to the diagnostic process for dyspnea.
