About units

It is not quite true that cardiovascular problems occur only in older people. But, unfortunately, diseases of the heart and blood vessels are getting younger, and more and more people over the age of 30 turns to cardiologists with various problems. This is due to the hard rhythm of today’s life, namely chronic stress, poor ecology, alcohol abuse, prolonged smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, overweight, etc., as well as hereditary diseases.

The Healthy&Happy Medical Center employed qualified doctors and has collected modern diagnostic techniques that allow us to identify any disorders in the work of the heart in the early stages. It can be the key to successful treatment and a guarantee of maintaining a high-quality and long life.

When to visit a cardiologist?

Often cardiovascular disease can appear as symptoms that patients do not associate with heart problems. Therefore, people must be attentive to their health and regularly visit a cardiologist in order to prevent and early detection of cardiovascular system diseases.

You should definitely visit a cardiologist if you feel:

  • pain in the head, back of the head and temples;
  • dizziness, loss of consciousness;
  • tinnitus;
  • sudden shortness of breath, either during exercise, or the appearance of shortness of breath during normal exertion;
  • unstable heart rhythm (accelerated, slowed, arrhythmia);
  • pain in the heart and chest;
  • swelling of the face and limbs;
  • convulsions;
  • uncontrolled changes in blood pressure;
  • increased urination;
  • weakness, etc.

In addition, a consultation of a cardiologist is necessary if you have been diagnosed with:

  • high blood cholesterol and triglycerides;
  • varicose veins.

Diagnostics

Comprehensive diagnostics play an important role in identifying blood vessels and heart problems. In cardiology, laboratory and instrumental diagnostics are used to accurately diagnose.

Laboratory diagnostics is aimed at identifying risk factors that can affect the development of cardiovascular diseases, namely, an increased cholesterol content or determination of the lipid complex. It allows the doctor to make conclusions about the possibility of disease development and predict its course.

Among the instrumental diagnostics methods, the most common is electrocardiography (ECG).

Electrocardiography is a research method that allows the doctor to exam the status of the cardiovascular system and identifies pathologies in people of any age.

Electrocardiography is absolutely safe and at the same time informative diagnostic method. ECG is performed as a screening diagnostic method for patients of any age.

ECG allows us to identify and assess:

  • the status of metabolic processes in the heart muscle;
  • symptoms of enlarged heart cavities (atria and ventricles);
  • deviations from the norm in the thickness of the heart’s walls.

An ECG is prescribed if, in the process of examination, the doctor suspects the cardiovascular diseases, as well as for their prevention.

To obtain more reliable results, the examination is performed after 10-15 minutes of rest and not earlier than 2 hours after eating.

Another common method for diagnostics of the heart condition is echocardiography (an ultrasound test of the heart).

Ultrasound diagnostics of the heart (ECHO) allows a doctor to assess the structure of the heart, identify pathological changes in the heart and its valve apparatus, and as well heart’s work (fullness, etc.). In addition, the procedure is recommended to prevent the development of severe heart lesions, determine the zone of myocardial ischemia (impaired blood supply to the heart muscle), identify past myocardial infarctions, which are not always visible during the electrocardiography.

ECHO is prescribed if the doctor suspects heart disease, as well as if the patient has initial symptoms of heart disease, namely:

  • tachycardia and other rhythm disturbances;
  • shortness of breath;
  • increased blood pressure;
  • chest pain;
  • pain in the joints;
  • an increase in body temperature to 37-37.2 ° C for no apparent reason.

To diagnose the status of the vessels, dopplerography is prescribed.

Doppler ultrasound test is an ultrasound examination of the venous vessels, which is performed by the Doppler technique. It allows us to identify any circulatory disorders in the vessels of the head and neck.

Doppler ultrasonography of blood vessels is prescribed to detect any vascular lesions, namely:

  • narrowing of the lumen (stenosis);
  • violation of the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels;
  • hypertonicity and hypotonia;
  • problems with blood flow;
  • varicose veins;
    – thrombosis.

Indications for Doppler ultrasonography are:

  • overweight;
  • headache;
  • dizziness;
  • tinnitus;
  • heaviness and swelling in the legs;
  • periodic loss of consciousness;
  • hypertension;
  • circulatory disorders in the lower and upper extremities.

Doppler ultrasonography has no side effects and contraindications.

Among the additional methods of instrumental diagnostics in the Healthy & Happy Medical Center are available:

  • cardiac stress test (veloergometry);
  • daily monitoring of blood pressure;
  • 24-hour ECG monitoring.

The cardiac stress test (veloergometry)
Veloergometry is an electrocardiographic study during physical activity on a special bicycle (veloergometer). This diagnostics technique lets to identify the initial stages and latent forms of coronary heart disease, as well as to deteсе physical exercise tolerance.

The cardiac stress test is prescribed if the patient has complaints about or if:

  • chest pain;
  • nonspecific changes in ECG rates;
  • lipid metabolism disorders;
  • high risk of developing coronary heart disease;
  • painless myocardial ischemia.

Before the test, it is necessary to get a consultation and special training to identify contraindications for the cardiac stress test procedure:

  • 3 hours before the test it is necessary to exclude meal;
  • research should not be performed after hard stresses and heavy physical exertion;
  • research should be performed after a 15-minute rest.

Holter monitoring

Holter monitoring allows us to assess cardiac activity in normal conditions of daily life and during sleep. Based on the monitoring results, the cardiologist can detect the reaction of the heart to various types of stress.

Combined monitoring of ECG and blood pressure reveals:

  • the сorellation between increased blood pressure and angina pectoris;
  • the correlation between a decrease in blood pressure and heart rhythm disturbances which were resulted in weakness, headache, fainting.

Treatment

The Healthy & Happy Medical Center uses modern medical advances in the treatment of vascular and heart diseases.

Cardiologists at Healthy & Happy Medical Center successfully treat the following diseases:

  • hypertension;
  • ischemic heart disease (observation, correction of treatment for myocardial infarction);
  • myocardial dystrophy;
  • angina pectoris;
  • hypercholesterolemia;
  • myocarditis;
  • arrhythmias (bradycardia, tachycardia)
  • support the patients with pacemakers.

Doctors-cardiologists of the Healthy & Happy Medical Center can additionally:

  • to develop a complex of individual recommendations for optimal exertion for sports activities;
  • detect the risk of cardiovascular disease with further recommendations;
  • support the patients during rehabilitation after an insult or myocardial infarction at the Medical Center on Volodymyrska;
  • outpatient relief of hypertensive crises.

At the Healthy & Happy Medical Center, doctors use modern conservative treatment methods that have proven effectiveness and comply with international treatment protocols.

In addition to pharmacological methods of treatment, Healthy & Happy Center successfully uses:

  • rehabilitation therapy;
  • physiotherapy exercises;
  • therapeutic massages.

Consultation with a cardiologist

Consultation with a cardiologist at the Healthy & Happy Medical Center is a complex measure of:

  • collection of patient complaints and study of medical history;
  • measurement of blood pressure, heart rate, determination of body mass index;
  • preliminary diagnose;
  • if necessary – prescription of additional research methods: instrumental; laboratory; additional consultations of related specialists: neuropathologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, rheumatologist, ophthalmologist, surgeon, vascular surgeon, sports doctor, food hygiene doctor (nutritionist), psychotherapist, psychologist, vertebrologist.
    The list of examinations is elaborated individually for each patient, based on his symptoms and anamnesis.
  • prescribing treatment: medication, physiotherapy (massage, exercise therapy), or surgical treatment, as well as adjusting the diet, prescribing treatment taking into account other diseases (for example, bronchial asthma, stomach ulcer, varicose veins).
