These examinations are performed by experienced specialists using state-of-the-art equipment. Want to take care of your health? Contact us today!

Holter ECG and Blood Pressure Monitoring – Modern Patient Monitoring Methods

Holter ECG monitoring is an advanced diagnostic method that allows for continuous recording of your heart’s electrical activity for 24 hours or longer. Also known as continuous ECG monitoring, this technique enables doctors to observe any heart rhythm abnormalities that may occur during your daily activities—something a standard ECG cannot capture.

Similarly, Holter blood pressure monitoring is a specialized method that continuously measures and records blood pressure for 24 hours or more. This process allows physicians to accurately track your blood pressure during everyday activities and sleep, helping to identify abnormalities or fluctuations that might be missed in a single in-office reading.

These tests do not interfere with daily activities, and the devices used are small, portable, and easy to operate.

Electrocardiography and Echocardiography – Safe Heart Examinations at Our Center

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a non-invasive, safe, and essential diagnostic test that monitors and records your heart’s electrical activity. It is a cornerstone of cardiology diagnostics, allowing doctors to quickly identify various heart disorders, including ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, and many other cardiac conditions.

Echocardiography (ECHO), on the other hand, is a non-invasive ultrasound examination that uses sound waves to create detailed images of your heart’s structure and function. It helps assess the size, shape, and motion of the heart walls, as well as the function of the heart valves. It can detect abnormalities such as valve diseases, heart failure, congenital defects, and other cardiovascular disorders.

Both tests are completely painless, safe, and require no special preparation. They typically last only a few minutes, with results available almost immediately.

Check Your Heart Function – Schedule a Stress Test

An exercise stress test is a specialized cardiac examination that evaluates how your heart responds to increased physical exertion. During the test, the patient exercises on a treadmill or stationary bike while blood pressure and heart activity are continuously monitored.

This test helps diagnose heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and valve problems. It also helps determine a safe level of physical activity for the patient—an important aspect of cardiac rehabilitation and cardiovascular disease prevention. Additionally, it can be used to monitor the effectiveness of cardiac treatment. The test is safe, controlled, and tailored to each patient’s fitness level.

Carotid Artery Ultrasound – A Key to Early Stroke Risk Detection

A carotid artery ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed images of the structure and blood flow within the carotid arteries. It allows doctors to assess arterial health and detect changes such as narrowing, clots, or plaque buildup that may increase the risk of stroke.

This test is quick, requires no special preparation, and provides immediate results. After the examination, our experienced cardiologist will review the findings, answer any questions, and, if necessary, recommend further diagnostic or therapeutic steps.

All our diagnostic tests are non-invasive, painless, and completely safe, yet highly effective in detecting various abnormalities. Contact us to safeguard your health and schedule your examinations with top specialists!

CARDIOLOGICAL PREVENTION

Following the principle that prevention is better than cure, we have created a screening panel in line with the recommendations of the Polish and European Cardiology Societies. These tests are tailored to age and risk factors, aiming for the early detection of cardiovascular diseases—the leading cause of death worldwide. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, basic laboratory parameters, and echocardiographic examination of the heart allows for the detection of abnormalities at an early stage and their effective treatment—before irreversible damage to the heart muscle occurs and quality of life significantly declines.

TREATMENT OF HYPERTENSION

Hypertension is characterized by an increase in blood pressure above 140/90 mmHg. It is the most common cardiovascular disease, affecting approximately 29% of Poland’s population—about 8.6 million people—with another 30% (8.9 million) at risk of developing it in the future due to having so-called high-normal blood pressure. When neglected, this condition can lead to irreversible damage to many vital organs, including the kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and brain. Early detection and appropriate treatment make it possible to avoid complications.

ASSESSMENT OF VALVULAR HEART DISEASE SEVERITY AND QUALIFICATION FOR REPAIR SURGERY

Heart valves are responsible for ensuring proper blood flow through the heart by alternately opening and closing. The main symptoms of valvular heart disease include: * Chest pain * Heart palpitations * Dizziness and shortness of breath

DIAGNOSIS OF HEART RHYTHM DISORDERS

Heart rhythm disorders are conditions characterized by irregularities in the heart’s function, which can be life-threatening. They are most often caused by valve diseases or heart muscle disorders. To reliably assess heart function, it is necessary to measure its activity over an extended period of time. This is possible with a test known as Holter ECG monitoring.

DIAGNOSIS OF ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE AND QUALIFICATION FOR CORONARY REVASCULARIZATION PROCEDURES

Coronary artery disease is a chronic condition caused by insufficient oxygen supply to the heart muscle cells, leading to heart failure.

ASSESSMENT OF CARDIOLOGICAL COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS AFTER COVID-19 INFECTION

COVID-19 is an acute respiratory disease caused by the novel human coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) with a highly variable course. Regardless of how the illness progressed, it is important to undergo an examination to assess potential complications resulting from the infection.

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATIONS

At Euromedica, we perform heart ultrasounds (echocardiography) to assess the dimensions of the heart chambers and major vessels—the pulmonary artery and ascending aorta. We also evaluate heart valve function and heart muscle contractility.
