Angina, hypertension, asthma... a comprehensive list of related and unrelated complaints.
Steffen Walter Jun 27, 2006:
For our info, could you provide the other diagnoses listed?
Ford Prefect (asker) Jun 27, 2006:
Thanks for the "differential diagnosis" considerations - I don't think this is likely, or any of the other suggestions in Beckers either. The MI/stents issue is medical, not linguistic context, the linguistic context is simply a list of _actual_ diagnoses - including that the patient suffered a single episode of syncope, attributed to the patient's general circulatory problems. It's not (IMO) a "differential diagnosis" for anything else.

syncope [syncopal attack] / differential diagnosis (DDx)

I think that DD stands for Differentialdiagnose (differential diagnosis) - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_diagnosis

As I understand it, they excluded an MI (myocardial infarction) and came up with the DDx of a syncope/syncopal attack - cf. http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/ghr/glossary/syncope
Peer comment(s):
