PREVENTIVE MEDICINE - EARLY PRECAUTION

Poor nutrition, lack of exercise, genetic predispositions, nicotine use, and stress are just a few factors that can lead to cardiovascular diseases. In our practice, we often observe that patients only schedule an appointment once damage has already occurred. That’s why we aim to intervene in the disease process as early as possible through preventive care. Together with you, we develop an individual strategy to reduce cardiovascular risk and prevent serious illnesses.

As part of preventive healthcare, we offer you a comprehensive examination of the cardiovascular system. In addition to a medical consultation, this includes meaningful cardiological and general internal functional diagnostics, as well as the analysis of relevant blood values. In a follow-up consultation, you will be thoroughly informed about your current health status and receive recommendations for any necessary measures.

In addition to basic cardiological examinations and, if needed, advanced diagnostics such as functional and vitality assessments, we offer preventive care as self-pay services. These individual health services and check-ups are currently not included in the statutory health insurance catalog and are billed privately according to the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ).

SELF-PAY SERVICES AT THE HEART AND VASCULAR MEDICINE ESPLANADE

The Heart and Vascular Medicine Esplanade offers comprehensive preventive health packages tailored to your personal situation, supporting you in keeping your heart healthy and resilient. 

Early detection of cardiovascular diseases or heart failure is important in order to be able to take countermeasures in time. Reliable and sensitive biomarkers in the blood support rapid and reliable diagnosis. For example, a heart attack can be detected or ruled out in the first few hours after the onset of suspicious chest pain. At Esplanade Cardiovascular Medicine, laboratory diagnostics support our physicians in finding a diagnosis and managing therapy. With the laboratory results, we can precisely classify diseases into stages, monitor the course of the disease and the success of therapy, and start a functioning prevention program.

We perform the following laboratory tests (e.g. blood gas analysis):

• Small and large blood count
• Liver and kidney values
• Electrolytes
• Risk profile (e.g. blood lipids)
• Inflammation parameters
• Thyroid parameters
• Urinalysis
• Specialized laboratory

The laboratory values for emergency examinations such as cardiac enzymes ( CPK ), troponin test, blood sugar, amylase and blood count as well as urine tests are available within a very short time and treatment can be initiated as quickly as possible.
