When is a heart check recommended? For prevention, early detection and ongoing monitoring – especially in the case of:
We recommend that you have your cardiovascular system checked at regular intervals by Dr. Mohsen. This allows us to monitor your current state of health and heart performance. If anomalies or risk factors are discovered, they can be treated in good time – well before dangerous consequences can occur.
Recommendation:
Patients 55 years and younger: every 2 years
Patients 55 years and older: annually
Duration: approx. 1 to 2 hours
This check-up is specially designed for companies that care about the health of their employees and want to actively support preventive measures. We would be happy to clarify in a personal discussion which services from Check-ups 1 to 2 should be included.
It is a common piece of misinformation that a stroke occurs suddenly and unexpectedly. Rather than occurring within a few minutes, it develops over years or even decades.
The most common causes of strokes are high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and atrial fibrillation. Deposits make the normally elastic vessel wall increasingly rigid and the smooth inner wall of the vessels rough. If the deposits grow, the vessels narrow more and more. Blood clots can develop, which are washed away into smaller arteries in the brain and can block them. This can result in a stroke. It is therefore important to recognize symptoms such as arteriosclerosis as early as possible. This is achieved by viewing the arteries supplying the brain and the vascular system.
The Stroke Risk Analysis (SRA) is a telemedical EKG analysis method that has been able to detect atrial fibrillation that was previously difficult to diagnose (since in many cases it occurs only briefly and often without symptoms). This is a cardiac arrhythmia that is believed to be a cause of stroke.
For prevention, early detection and ongoing control – especially in:
A vascular check-up enables the prevention of arterial occlusive diseases, heart attacks or strokes. Vascular diseases develop insidiously and are often well advanced by the time a patient recognizes the first symptoms.
Cholesterol, calcium and fatty acids are usually deposited in the vessels unnoticed. A sedentary lifestyle, an unbalanced, unhealthy diet, obesity, high cholesterol and smoking are among the greatest risk factors. High blood pressure, stress or diabetes mellitus do the rest. The consequences can be a stroke or heart attack, kidney failure, smoker’s legs, intermittent claudication, etc.
The risk increases rapidly in men in their late 40s and in women after menopause. Those who know their individual risk early on have a good chance of significantly reducing it again.
High blood pressure usually causes no to few symptoms for a long time. Values that are too high are therefore often only noticed late. That makes high blood pressure a “silent” danger.
It is important to get treatment as early as possible to prevent consequential damage, because over the years high blood pressure can damage important organs such as the heart with its coronary arteries, the brain, the kidneys and the blood vessels. The consequences can be life-threatening diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, cardiac arrhythmias and kidney damage.
Post-Covid syndrome is a series of late effects that can occur after an infection with Covid 19. Although those affected have recovered from the viral disease, they are by no means healthy. The sequelae can be
Cardiovascular damage
Lung damage
Neurological damage
Psychological consequences
Post-Covid syndrome: Symptoms:
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Dizziness
Headache
Weakness
Lack of concentration
Fatigue syndrome
Fatigue
Sleep disorders
Depression and anxiety disorders
Post-Covid Diagnostics:
Physical examinations
ECG
Echocardiography, if necessary 3D 8by indication)
Oxygen saturation
Exercise ECG
If necessary, LZ-EKG and LZ-blood pressure measurement
Laboratory (blood count, inflammatory parameters, cardinal bio-markers (troponin, CK-MB, Pro-BNP, D-dimer), liver and kidney values, thyroid values)
If necessary, CT chest depending on symptoms, clinical and laboratory examinations.
In patients who have undergone covid infection
