We are facing a problem where we need to store 270 fields per item. The
fields are laboratory measurements of a patient - 40 measurement values for 7 timepoint. The fields need to be accessed per timepoint, per measurement
and all fields for one patient once. There will be over 10000 patients,
distributed under different hospital items (tree-like, for permission
reasons). Data is not accessed for two patients at once, so we don't need to
scale the catalog.
So I am curious about how we make Plone scale well for this scenario.

Since your needs are rather extreme, you have a few options — Andreas' advice on splitting up the objects is probably a good idea.

I'd also urge you to check out Dexterity — although still experimental, it's much, much faster and less CPU/memory-hungry than AT. From what I have seen of your skills, you'd probably be fine with its current state, and help test a future part of Plone. :)
