A stress ECG is an electrocardiogram (synonym: stress ergometry) performed under stress – that is, physical activity.The stress is generated by physical work using a treadmill or bicycle ergometer. Depending on the number of watts, the load can be anything from normal walking to fast cycling or jogging. By means of the stress ECG, stress-induced … Exercise Electrocardiography
The ergometer test measures the physical work performance of the test person on a bicycle ergometer or treadmill under the supervision of a sports physician. It is used to analyze endurance and check some health parameters. Indications (areas of application) Athletes/competitive athletes to assess the performance limit and the quality of previous training. Determination of … Ergometer Test
Diagnostic cardiac catheterization (CCU) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure in cardiology and radiology that can be used primarily to assess myocardial anatomy (heart muscle). Basically, cardiac catheterization can be divided into left heart catheterization and right heart catheterization, in which the respective ventricle is examined. In contrast to left heart catheterization, however, right heart … Cardiac Catheterization
Echocardiography (synonyms: cardiac echo; ultrasound of the heart; cardiac ultrasound) is a special ultrasound examination of the heart. It is used to diagnose heart disease. Indications (areas of application) Diseases of the heart valves, such as aortic valve stenosis or insufficiency, mitral valve stenosis or insufficiency Cardiac thrombi (blood clots) in one of the heart’s … Cardiac Ultrasound (Echocardiography)
Immunoscintigraphy is a diagnostic procedure used in nuclear medicine to detect the accumulation of radioactively labeled antibodies, for example, in tumors or sites of inflammation. Antibodies or immunoglobulins (Ig) are physiologically produced by plasma cells (special B lymphocytes) as part of the specific immune defense and are used to recognize antigens (e.g. surface structures of … Immunoscintigraphy
Ankle-brachial index (TBQ), cruro-brachial quotient (CBQ), ankle-brachial index, or occlusion pressure measurement is an examination method that can describe the risk of cardiovascular disease. The test is considered highly specific and sensitive for detecting peripheral arterial disease (PAVD). The risk of dying from cardiovascular disease within one year is reported to be increased up to … Ankle-Brachial Index
During long-term ECG, the heart rhythm is recorded over 24 hours. This allows statements to be made about cardiac function in relation to events during the course of the day or night. These must be carefully documented by the patient, including the time of day, and can thus be correlated with the results of the … Long-Term Electrocardiography
24-hour blood pressure measurement (synonym: long-term blood pressure measurement) is a diagnostic method in which blood pressure is measured over a day and night at regular intervals such as 15 or 30 minutes. Blood pressure measurement can be performed on an outpatient or inpatient basis. The outpatient version is also called ambulatory blood pressure monitoring … 24 Hour Blood Pressure Measurement
Angio-computed tomography (synonyms: angio-CT; CT angiography; CT angio; CT vascular imaging) refers to a radiological examination procedure in which blood vessels are examined using computed tomography (CT). With this examination method, targeted images of the vessels of various body regions are possible, such as brain, thorax, heart (CT angiography of the heart, CT cardio, computed … Computer Tomography Angiography
Angio-magnetic resonance imaging (synonyms: Angio-MRI; nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) of the vessels; MRI vessels; MRI angio; MR angiography (MRA); vascular imaging by magnetic resonance imaging) refers to a radiological examination procedure in which a magnetic field is used to image the vessels. With this examination method, targeted images of the vessels of various body … Computer Tomography Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Elastic arteries are a characteristic of a healthy vascular system. Modern, noninvasive measurement of arterial elasticity measures the extent of atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis, hardening of the arteries).Several million people in Germany have changes in the arteries (arteries) and do not know it. Determination of the brachial artery “arterial stiffness index” (ASI) has been shown to correlate … Arterial Elasticity (Arterial Stiffness Index)
Light reflection rheography is a hemodynamic examination method used to diagnose and monitor the course of so-called chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). In this disease, the venous vessels are damaged in such a way that the blood is not transported effectively enough to the heart and the blood backs up. This can lead to many secondary … Light Reflectance Rheography
