1. DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

• accurately establishes the diagnosis of congenital heart disease in adults and children , even before birth;
• periodically assesses the disease stage and helps telling the right moment for surgery;
• it is the only diagnosis facility at hand for the more rare cardiac diseases: cardiac tumors, primary diseases of the myocardium (cardiomyopathies);
• provides an exquisite diagnosis and periodical reevaluations in adult's heart disease ( valvular diseases, pericarditis, ischemic heart disease and their complications);
• accurately estimates cardiac function , the state of valvular prostheses and their complications ;
• it is necessary in cardiac evaluation for high performance sports (initially and periodically);

2. COLOR DOPPLER ABDOMINAL ECHOGRAPHY

• more than conventional 2D abdominal echography , Color Doppler examination brings about decisive information for the diagnosis of studied organs;
• Moreover, the ECO Doppler study of abdominal arteries and veins offers unique data for the diagnosis of abdominal organ diseases.

 

Preparation:

• the patient will not eat in the scheduled day;
• he/she will have an urinating sensation at the scheduled hour;
• the patient will take SABSIMPLEX 2tb 3 times/day, 2 days before the examination.

3. PERIPHERAL VASCULAR COLOR DOPPLER ECHOGRAPHY

• an accurate investigation for the artery & vein disease diagnosis
• visualizes the site of arterial stenosis / occlusion and evaluates the degree of stenosis
• helps the vascular surgeon make the decision to operate on arterial obstructive disease
• periodically assesses arterial graft patency
• it shows the site of arterial embolus and the state of collateral vessels
• it's the mandatory first investigation in acute deep vein thrombosis of the limbs(it localizes the thrombus, its age and timed evolution, venous reflux etc.)
• clarifies the etiology of varicose veins( primary or secondary), communication with the deep veins etc.
• quantifies the flow through the A-V shunts in chronic hemodialysed patients
