Cardiologists of the MC "Mediland" are engaged in diagnostics and treatment of heart and vascular diseases, these are, above all, diseases associated with the problems of atherosclerosis, hypertension, various heart defects, inflammatory processes (myocarditis).
The heart is a pump, unsurpassed in its power and durability, and unfortunately the problems associated with the operation of the cardiovascular system are one of the most common.
Very often, the diseases of the cardiovascular system can manifest not in the early stages, but in the neglected stage, when the treatment will require considerable efforts from the doctor, patient and his/her relatives. Therefore, cardiologists of the «Mediland» Clinic recommend regular preventive examinations.
The main task of the cardiologist is to timely identify the disease and treat the patient with modern and safe medicaments. But the main goal is to increase the duration of your life and improve its quality.
In our clinic you will receive attention and feel a professional approach to solving your problems. The survey begins with a question about what is bothering you, then the doctor will conduct a thorough examination, be sure to conduct an ECG and some analysis.
In addition, blood tests, daily monitoring of blood pressure, echocardiogram (cardiac ultrasound), daily monitoring of ECG (Holter monitoring), dopplerography of neck vessels, and tests with physical exertion can be prescribed (in your individual case).
After the diagnosis is established and the cause is clarified, your individual risks of progression and possible complications are necessarily estimated. In those cases when the disease is not yet, it is obligatorily to estimate the total risk of its probability. This is important for your individual program of prevention and treatment of the cardiovascular system diseases.
