Each heartbeat is preceded by an electrical impulse that can be recorded on the body’s surface over time. An EKG provides valuable information about the heart’s electrical activity, helping us detect any potential disturbances or heart diseases early on. Blood pressure (RR, after Riva-Rocci) gives insights into the pressure within the vessels and heart chambers, providing important information about the cardiovascular system.
We offer the following technology-assisted cardiovascular examinations at our practice:
Ultrasound uses sound waves to create detailed images of internal organs and blood vessels. This non-invasive method allows for safe examination without radiation exposure.
In my practice, I use ultrasound to examine the following organ systems:
Vaccinations play an important role in preventing infectious diseases. Booster shots should be administered regularly for adults, especially if there is no primary immunization. This is particularly true for vaccinations such as diphtheria, which is recommended every 10 years, and tetanus.
In addition, there are so-called indication vaccinations, which are advisable for certain groups at higher risk. For example, the influenza and pneumococcal vaccines are standard recommendations for people aged 60 and over. Other recommended vaccines include TBE (tick-borne encephalitis), Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib), Hepatitis A and B, rabies, meningococcal infections, poliomyelitis, chickenpox (varicella), and rubella.
