Arterial screening
Arterial screening determines your personal risk of heart attack and stroke. After the painless screening examination you also receive a written evaluation and advice on any further steps that may be useful.
Exercise ECG (ergometry)
Ergometry allows your physical performance to be examined under exertion and potential risk factors to be identified. Testing on the bicycle ergometer can reveal the following risk factors: high blood pressure (exercise hypertension), heart disease, impaired blood flow to the heart
Carotid ultrasound
The carotid ultrasound measures the wall of the carotid artery (intima). Its thickness indicates whether deposits have formed in the vessel. The examination is aimed above all at patients with elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure or a family history, and makes preventive countermeasures possible.
Skin screening
Preventive skin examination substantially reduces the risk of developing melanoma and suffering its late effects. Skin screening includes an expert assessment and clinical examination of all moles using a dermatoscope. Where anything conspicuous is found, patients are referred to a dermatologist so that further steps can be taken.
Lung function
Assessment of lung function and lung volume, early detection of changes, limitations and disease such as reduced lung volume, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Includes measurement of blood oxygen saturation.
Upper abdomen & kidney ultrasound
Examination of the structure of the organs in the upper abdomen (liver, gall bladder, pancreas, spleen, kidney and abdominal aorta) together with relevant blood values. This allows changes such as cysts, gall bladder and bile duct stones or kidney stones to be detected in good time and treated where necessary.
Resting ECG
The resting ECG is the basic examination in cardiology. It records the sum of the electrical activity of all heart muscle fibres and allows heart rate, heart rhythm and cardiac axis to be determined. No preparation is required. The examination is painless and, depending on the device, recording the traces takes only a very short time.
Thyroid sonography – follow-up
Relevant blood values together with an ultrasound examination of the thyroid, which is checked for tissue changes. The examination is also important for investigating functional disorders and for follow-up after thyroid surgery.
Venous screening
Venous screening is a painless examination that analyses venous return flow and allows varicose veins and thromboses to be detected early.
