Our Range of Services in Prevention – Diagnostics – Therapy
Conventional Diagnostics
During minimally intrusive examinations we check for any indication of angiopathy or heart disease. Among other procedures, we use:
- EKG (resting and long-term EKG)
- Ergometry (bicycle/seated/treadmill)
- Long-term blood pressure measurement
- Cardiac pacemaker and defibrillator after-care
- Sleep apnea screening
- Laboratory screening
Sports medicine and diagnostics
Performance diagnostics are an essential part of health-oriented sports activities from a cardiological point of view. Among others we use:
- body plethysmography
- ergospirometry (treadmill or bicycle)
- lactate diagnostics
- blood gas analysis
Non-invasive imaging diagnostics
These imaging procedures comprise the following in modern cardiology:
- Echocardiography of the heart in 3D/ 4D-Technology
- Duplex sonography procedure of all vessels
- Sonography of the abdominal organs/thyroid
- Cardio-CT (multiline-CT-Angiography of the coronary vessels)
- Cardio-MRT (nuclear magnetic resonance tomography of the heart)
Preventive Medicine
Early detection of heart disease and also happily taking better care of ourselves has gained in significance. Successfully detecting disorders at an early stage through modern diagnostic methods means we can often still counteract them. In this case the cardiologist and his diagnostic possibilities are the best possible partners, also in treatment and consultation.
Imaging Invasive Diagnostics and Electrical Diagnostics
The heart catheter examination is part of the invasive procedures. Only with thistechnology can the direct treatment of a dangerous narrowing of the coronary vessels be performed through a cardiac vessel dilation (balloon angioplasty) or the insertion of a stent.
With the help of electronic examinations we can detect disorders of the heart electronics and heal them with a high frequency therapy.
Surgical Methods
After the detection of a cardiac arrhythmia it can be necessary to implant a cardiac pace maker or a defibrillator.
