Diagnostics

«Heart Life Hospital»

Performs diagnostics of diseases of the cardiovascular system and different types of pathology on the basis of modern medical equipment that allows to determine the anatomy of heart disease, malformations and associated abnormalities, in accordance with modern international medical standards.

Following investigations are performed in the clinic:

• Electrocardiography 
• Echocardiography ( transthoracic, transesophageal, stress-echocardiography with pharmacological tests) using the Philips expert-class equipment
• Tests with partial physical loads (treadmill test, veloergometry)
• Daily monitoring of ECG (Holter) and blood pressure
• Coronary angiography
• Ultrasound diagnosis of vascular disease (duplex scanning): pathology of the arteries of the head and neck, of the lower and upper extremities, the venous system of the head and neck, of the lower hollow vein, pathology of the abdominal aorta and its visceral branches) and internal organs
• Ultrasound diagnosis of the venous system of the lower extremities (modern treatment of varicose veins, surgeon's consultation)
• Endoscopic interventions and operations in outpatient settings (esophagogastroduodenoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy), diagnostic biopsy
• X-ray studies
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
• Computed tomography (heart and blood vessels, CT - angiography)
• Duplex scanning with color Doppler mapping of blood vessels, duplex scanning of arteries and veins of upper and lower extremities, abdominal aorta and its branches, incl. renal arteries

Clinical laboratory studies provide the necessary range of investigations for preoperative and postoperative period.

High-quality medical equipment is used for investigations and conducting of surgical interventions: angiograph Siemens Artis ZEE, Datascop pulsators that provide intra-aortic balloon contropulsation, artificial blood-circulation apparatus Terumo System 1 (Advanced perfusion system), equipment for ECMO-PLS Rotaflow system (Maquet), autotransfusion machine Electa (Dideco), short-term auxiliary circulation system with centrifugal motor Centrimag (Toratec).
