The Cardiology service at the Vein Clinic Brescia is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, which allows complete cardiology examinations, including Electrocardiography (ECG), Echocardiogram and Cardiac Colour Doppler Echo.
The examinations can be performed in a single session and the results are available immediately, for a quick and accurate diagnosis.
The Echocardiogram, or Cardiac Colour Doppler, is a non-invasive and painless ultrasound scan of the heart. It makes it possible to view an image of the heart in real time, measure the size of the heart chambers, assess the state of the valves, and check the pump function of the heart.
At our clinic, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring devices (Holter pressure) can also be applied, thus offering an even more comprehensive cardiological assessment.
During the cardiological examination, the doctor draws up a clinical diary, collecting information on the patient’s lifestyle, habits and any family illnesses.
Blood pressure measurement and ECG are performed. If necessary, echocardiographic examinations or 24-hour cardiac or blood pressure monitoring devices are carried out.
Our approach allows for accurate diagnosis and constant monitoring, even for patients with chronic diseases.
A cardiological examination is essential to prevent and treat major heart diseases. The main risk factors include: smoking, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high-fat diet, alcohol abuse and low physical activity.
Our service is aimed at those experiencing symptoms such as breathlessness, dizziness, palpitations, pressure swings or chest pain.
Comprehensive check-ups are also available, including the Cardiac Check-up, which also integrates specific blood tests.
