Diagnostics of cardiovascular disease
High blood pressure, heart pain, swelling in the afternoons and shortness of breath are all signs of cardiovascular problems. Ignoring these problems can have serious consequences, such as heart attack, stroke or even death.
If the above-mentioned symptoms occur, a comprehensive diagnosis should be carried out to determine the cause and make a diagnosis. The advantage of the LuxMedic Clinic is the availability of modern equipment, highly specialised doctors who quickly and accurately identify diseases of the cardiovascular system and make recommendations for further treatment as well as prevention.
Diagnostic methods
- questioning, collecting anamnesis: the doctor listens to the patient's complaints, asks about a history of heart problems and those of close relatives;
- laboratory tests are needed to determine the blood levels of cholesterol, glucose, creatinine and electrolytes;
- measurement of blood pressure is not done only in the doctor's office; additionally, the cardiologist may recommend that you keep a blood pressure diary at home, twice a day for a few weeks;
- vascular ultrasound assesses how well your blood vessels work and whether they are blocked;
- electrocardiogram - assesses the functioning of the heart and identifies irregularities in heart rhythm;
- chest X-rays - to determine abnormalities such as an enlarged heart or atherosclerosis;
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scanning may be prescribed in some cases to diagnose cardiovascular diseases;
- consultations with related specialists: a neurologist, an ophthalmologist, an endocrinologist if the patient has any complaints concerning the scope of work of these doctors.
Make an appointment to see a cardiologist at LuxMedic Clinic to receive high-quality and complete diagnostics. Don't ignore the symptoms of cardiac disorders, as a timely diagnosis is much easier to treat.
