CARDIO DIAGNOSTICS

Modern diagnosis of the cardiovascular system

An important and distinctive advantage of the cardiovascular center Evviva: the ability to accurately diagnose the functional capabilities of the cardiovascular system with the identification of any functional class of ischemia, as well as the painless form of myocardial ischemia (BIM), which can not be detected without expert class equipment.

ECG / AD holter monitoring (up to 5 days) on ECGpro Holter equipment.

Complex ECGpro with load tests CP 12 USB-ps (ECG load)

Modern running track (Treadmill) Trackmaster TMX428

Ultrasound examination of the heart (ultrasound)

Laboratory research

Holter monitoring

Holter is one of the most reliable and highly informative methods for diagnosing blood pressure, heart rate and conduction of the heart. Holter monitoring of ECG and AD in the medical center Evviva is carried out on modern equipment of expert class ECGpro Holter.

Holter monitoring of ECG

In the event that the electrocardiogram does not provide enough information to make a diagnosis, holter monitoring of the heart is performed.

Daily (Holter) ECG monitoring is a method of investigation that allows continuous recording of cardiac function on the ECG using a portable device (holter) for a day or more. After processing and analyzing this record on the computer, the cardiologist gives a conclusion about the rhythm, its violations, ischemic changes, the presence of pauses. The results of daily monitoring are so accurate that they allow the cardiologist to identify even a painless form of ischemia, which the patient did not even suspect.

Indications

Complaints of episodes of dizziness, loss of consciousness

Heart rate variability

Rhythm disturbances: supraventricular and ventricular extrasystole

Paroxysmal rhythm disturbances (tachycardia or tachyarrhythmia)

Ischemic changes caused by ischemic heart disease

Examination with a history of myocardial infarction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and other serious heart diseases.

WPW syndrome, prolonged Q-T interval syndrome

Suspicion of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia

Monitoring the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic therapy.

Control of the pacemaker.

Holter monitoring of blood pressure

Arterial pressure is an important indicator of health, the quality of human life depends on it. But there are situations when a single measurement of this indicator is not enough for the doctor. In these cases, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (BPM) is assigned.

In the course of such a study, the patient wears a portable device for 1-2 days, which fixes the blood pressure in conditions that are as close to natural as possible. According to the results of the study, the doctor receives all the necessary information in order to confirm or deny the fact of the presence of hypertension or symptomatic arterial hypertension (increase of pressure caused by this or that disease). The study also makes it possible to monitor the treatment of patients with already diagnosed hypertension.

Indications

Increase and decrease in blood pressure, variability during the day

"Boundary" indicators of blood pressure

Control of selected antihypertensive therapy, including to exclude episodes of severe hypotension after taking drugs

Severe hypertension, resistant to treatment.

Treadmill Test

For the diagnosis of heart disease, loading tests are often used. One of the types of such diagnostics is a treadmill test. This is a reliable and highly informative method for the functional diagnosis of the cardiovascular system. In the cardiology center Evviva treadmill test is carried out on the modern Trackmaster TMX 428 treadmill equipped with all necessary equipment.

Carrying out a stress test involves performing a dosed physical exercise. The electrodes attached to the computer are attached to the patient's body, with the help of which the ECG is recorded in real time.

Indications

Diagnosis of ischemic heart disease

Determination of the severity of angina pectoris (functional class)

Evaluation of the effectiveness of its treatment

Estimation of prognosis in cardiac patients

Choice of training load for the rehabilitation of cardiac patients

Determination of the response of the cardiovascular system to the load.

Determination of tolerance to physical activity in people who plan to start active sports (running, attending a fitness room).

Echocardiography (echocardiography, ultrasound of the heart)

This is a modern non-invasive method of heart examination, which is based on the location of body tissues with the help of ultrasonic waves (high frequency sound waves).

Used in echocardiography, ultrasonic vibrations are practically not dangerous to the health of the patient, therefore echocardiography can be performed many times - as much as is necessary for the therapeutic and diagnostic process. The wide possibilities and high information content of the study, its painlessness and safety made echocardiography an obligatory standard method of examining every patient with heart diseases.

The procedure of echocardiography allows you to analyze the anatomical structure of the heart and evaluate its functional abilities. The contractile function of the heart and the operation of the valves are clearly visible in real time.

Echocardiography is necessary to:

evaluate the work of the heart;
estimate its size;
determine the thickness of the walls;
visualize the main vessels, valve apparatus;
evaluate the contractility of the myocardium of the left and right ventricles;
trace the features of the movement of blood in the atria and ventricles of the heart.

Laboratory research

Accurate diagnosis of diseases of the cardiovascular system involves a wide range of laboratory studies. In the MC Evviva laboratory tests are conducted in accordance with the world quality standards with the provision of results in the shortest possible time. Reagents and test systems of the latest generation guarantee high accuracy of results.
