Overview of cardiological and internal medicine services

ECG
The ECG is a basic investigation not only in cardiology but also in the entire field of internal medicine. The electrocardiogram provides the doctor with information about: Heart rhythm and heart rate, Disorders of excitation, propagation and repolarization in the conduction system and the heart muscle, Position of the heart in the chest more ...

Ergometry
In conjunction with cardiac ultrasound, ergometry is one of the most important investigations in cardiology. Its purposes include a diagnostic investigation of physical performance, clarification of hypertensive diseases, and checking an ongoing treatment for hypertension. The ergometry permits the physician to detect or rule out calcifications of the coronary vessels. more ...

24-hour ECG
The 24-hour ECG records the heart rhythm continuously over a period of 24 to 80 hours. A small device is fixed to your body at the medical office and you will wear it for 24 to 80 hours. more ...

24-hour Blood pressure monitoring
Bei einer 24 h Blutdruckmessung wird der Blutdruck über einen Zeitraum von 24 Stunden regelmäßig gemessen und so ein Profil erstellt. Der Patient sollte während der Untersuchung in einem Protokoll festhalten, was er jeweils gerade macht. more ...

Echocardiography
In conjunction with ergometry the ultrasound investigation of the heart is one of the most important investigations in cardiology. The cardiac ultrasound provides exact information about the strength of the heartbeat: narrowed or leaky heart valves can thus be identified. more ...

Carotid duplex ultrasound
The ultrasound investigation of the arteries supplying the brain is performed with the patient in supine position. The investigation is entirely painless. The carotid arteries are easily accessed by the ultrasound wave and the investigation provides crucial information about the current state of the arteries. Smallest deposits of calcifications or plaques can be identified. more ...

Thyroid ultrasound
The thyroid ultrasound is a painless investigation and its purpose is to evaluate the size and structure of the thyroid. Nodules in the thyroid can be measured accurately. Over time, the investigation permits the physician to assess whether the nodules have changed in size or not. more ...

Cardiac catheterization
Cardiac catheterization or coronary angiography is the gold standard for visualizing the coronary vessels. With the aid of a catheter, the vessels of the heart are filled with contrast medium and filmed. For this purpose an artery in the arm is punctured. more ...

Blood sampling
As we cooperate closely with the laboratories in our vicinity, blood sampling can be performed directly at the medical office. All important parameters including kidney values, liver values, cholesterol, thyroid values, blood count and other data can be determined. more ...
