PREVENTION
NORMAL CHECKS CAN REVEAL VARIOUS HEART DISEASES
CHECK-UP TESTS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR PREVENTION
An essential element to prevent cardiovascular diseases is to monitor the health conditions of our heart and our cardiovascular system, in order to detect any pathologies at their onset or even before they arise. Once the results of the clinical screening have been collected, the doctor can prescribe a series of diagnostic-instrumental tests, useful for evaluating the "degree of cardiovascular risk" of a patient and any pathologies and thus plan the most appropriate and targeted therapeutic interventions.
SCREENING FOR HYPERTENSION
(Specialist cardiology visit + ECG + Holter blood pressure) Arterial hypertension is often asymptomatic and sometimes undiagnosed also because it is present mainly during the night hours. The scarcity of symptoms and their non-specificity are the main reason why the patient often does not realize he has high blood pressure. Making an early diagnosis of arterial hypertension means preventing the damage related to it.
ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE SCREENING
(Specialist cardiology visit + ECG + Echocardiogram + Holter)Ischemic heart disease is a pathology that involves an insufficient supply of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. In order to diagnose the actual presence of this disorder, the subject must undergo diagnostic tests including ECG, echocardiogram, Holter ECG and ergometric test (if necessary, further second level tests) up to coronary angiography.

CARDIOLOGICAL CHECK-UPS
CARDIAC CHECK-UP
The cardiac check-up is dedicated to those who wish to have a general picture of their cardiac condition, to patients who suffer from chest pain (suspected angina), to patients with already known cardiomyopathies (ischemic heart disease, infarct heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). THIS APPROACH INCLUDES: • CARDIOLOGICAL VISIT • ELECTROCARDIOGRAM • CARDIAC COLOR DOPPLER ECHO
CARDIOVASCULAR CHECK-UP
The global cardiovascular check-up is dedicated to those who want a detailed analysis of their cardiological and vascular situation, considering that this approach allows to directly evaluate the state of their arteries and heart.
THIS APPROACH INCLUDES:
• CARDIOLOGICAL VISIT
• ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
• CARDIAC COLOR DOPPLER
• ECOCOLOR DOPPLER OF THE SUPRA-AORTIC TRUNKS (TSA)
• ARTERIAL ECHOCOLOR DOPPLER OF THE LOWER LIMBS
The arrhythmological check-up is dedicated to patients who suffer from palpitations, fainting, syncope, tachycardia and arrhythmias in general; as well as to patients who, due to other cardiac pathologies, are exposed to an increased risk of arrhythmias, sudden death, heart failure. The examination allows the evaluation of the possible presence of arrhythmias, the evaluation of the arrhythmic risk, the indication of medical therapy or transcatheter ablation or the implantation of a pacemaker, defibrillator or myocardial resynchronization systems (biventricular defibrillators).
THIS APPROACH INCLUDES:
CARDIOLOGICAL VISIT
ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
CARDIAC COLOR DOPPLER
24-HOUR CARDIAC HOLTER WITH 12 LEADS
ARRHYTHMOLOGICAL CHECK-UP
HYPERTENSION CHECK-UP
The hypertension check-up is dedicated to patients with high blood pressure values or who are already undergoing drug therapy. This test, in fact, allows to evaluate the condition of the heart, the correctness of the medical therapy and the presence of additional cardiovascular risk factors.
THIS APPROACH INCLUDES:
• CARDIOLOGICAL VISIT
• ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
• CARDIAC COLOR DOPPLER
• 24-HOUR CARDIAC HOLTER
CARDIOLOGICAL CHECK-UP
It is a test that guarantees that an athlete can practice their favorite sporting activity in complete safety, excluding asymptomatic but potentially risky pathologies.
THIS APPROACH INCLUDES:
• CARDIOLOGICAL VISIT
• ECG
The cardiac check-up is intended for those who wish to have a general picture of their cardiac condition, for patients suffering from chest pain (suspected angina), for patients with already known cardiomyopathies (ischemic heart disease, infarct heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).
THIS APPROACH INCLUDES:
• CARDIOLOGICAL VISIT
• ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
• CARDIAC COLOR DOPPLER
CORRECT HABITS AND GOOD BEHAVIOURS THAT CAN HELP SAFEGUARD THE HEALTH OF YOUR CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM.
A series of useful tips to reduce the risk of being affected by a serious disease that threatens our heart.
Cardiovascular Prevention
There are several causes that can generate cardiovascular diseases.
These include age, gender, blood pressure, being a regular smoker, suffering from diabetes or high cholesterol.
Risk factors are, in fact, characteristics that increase the probability of being affected by the disease.
Having identified the main causes of onset, cardiovascular diseases are preventable, reducing the risk of being hit by heart attack and stroke.
