PROTECTIVE CONTROL
The purpose of the pre-sport test is the early diagnosis of many pathological conditions that every person should be aware of before starting a sport. The control is addressed to people of all ages (adults, children, elderly) registered in gyms, sports clubs, private schools, etc.) with the main purpose of ensuring their health. The preventive cardiac check-up should not be considered a “routine” examination, but a necessary condition before starting any activity, because this way situations that can be fatal to life are prevented. Careful history taking (family and individual), electrocardiogram and complete clinical examination with echocardiogram are required. Where there is evidence of possible heart disease, screening should be supplemented with a fatigue test and Holter recording. Our clinic, aware of its social role, during periods of high demand, often carries out affordable pre-sports check-up offers, so that each athlete has the opportunity to be properly and safely assessed before participating in any sport.
CARDIOLOGY MONITORING OF PREGNANCY
This department was created on the occasion of the great experience of Mr. Vahliotis, from his many years of collaboration with the “MITERA” obstetrics-gynecology clinic, in the monitoring of pregnant women, high-risk patients and pregnant women with or without cardiac problems. Frequent cardiac complications of pregnancy, such as hypertension, eclampsia and pre-eclampsia, but also high-risk pregnancies, such as in women with valvular disease, arrhythmias, thyroid disease, pulmonary hypertension and cardiomyopathy, require the close collaboration of an experienced cardiologist with the gynecologist, in order to avoid the deterioration of the health of the pregnant woman and the unwanted termination of the pregnancy. We undertake the preventive check-up of the pregnant woman, the regular cardiac monitoring, where required, as well as the treatment of the complications of high-cardiac risk pregnancies both during the pregnancy period and during the caesarean section. In this way, we can help, whenever necessary, the woman in dealing with possible pregnancy problems and contribute to its successful completion.
ULTRASOUND EVALUATION OF CHILDREN
The expertise and extensive experience of the doctor in ultrasound, guarantees the provision of the most modern, comprehensive medical care for your most precious thing, your child. Hundreds of parents have trusted us since 2009 when we started our operation. The modern equipment and our experienced staff as well as the pleasantly designed environment and the projections cartoons during the exam, guarantee the best treatment for our little heroes. Examination of children, in addition to clinical assessment and electrocardiogram, can be supplemented with ultrasound (Triplex) heart and blood tests, if necessary. The most frequent cases in which you may need us are:
- Assessment of murmurs (in most cases they are normal without diagnostic significance)
- Assessment of uncomplicated congenital heart diseases (complex cyanotic heart diseases require follow-up by a specialist pediatric cardiologist)
- Pre-sports – school control – certificates
- Preventive cardiac screening
- Evaluation of suspected cardiac symptoms (such as unexplained dizziness, fainting, precardiac pain, dyspnea on exertion, palpitations and palpitations, etc.)
PACE CONTROL
In our clinic, any pacemaker is checked after consultation with the company. The pacemaker card is required for testing. At a scheduled appointment, a technician from the company comes and, in collaboration with the doctor, assesses the life of the battery, the technical characteristics of the pacemaker and makes the appropriate settings. For disabled, bedridden patients, the appointment can also take place at their home.
STOP SMOKING
The smoking cessation program is aimed at all smokers who need help to successfully quit smoking. It helps smokers understand all aspects of the problem and find personalized solutions. All modern smoking cessation techniques are applied and smokers, depending on their needs, are supported by a team of specialized doctors and partners (Cardiologist, Pulmonologist, Psychologist, Dietitian).
SPECIAL CARDIOVASCULAR PREVENTION AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PROGRAMS
Cardiovascular prevention programs are an innovative way of monitoring and modifying cardiovascular risk factors, which predict the risk of a cardiovascular event and other cardiovascular diseases in 10 years and recommend the appropriate lifestyle modification, with the aim of measurable reduction of cardiovascular risk.
They are inspired by the respective programs “Life’s simple seven» of the American College Of Cardiology and “Heart Score” of the European Society of Cardiology. They are a very important intervention in the effort to improve your health and contribute to highlighting the vanguard of our clinic.
While most medical interventions are primarily concerned with addressing the effects of disease, little attention is paid to lifestyle change, which accounts for a large proportion of disease, the importance of which tends to be underestimated because interventions are usually difficult and require a strong dose of self-discipline . Our programs aim to achieve this important change.
The programs are structured in parallel with the visits you make to our clinic and are given at almost zero cost (you only bear the minimal operating costs of some machines when their use is required), constituting an outstanding social contribution of the clinic as well as a substantial contribution to the protection of cardiovascular health.
The programs include:
- Measurements of all cardiac indicators and calculation of cardiovascular risk
- Assessment of all the main cardiovascular risk factors (Blood pressure, Sugar, Cholesterol) and the parameters that influence them.
- Body weight measurements, liposuction and assessment of body composition.
- Free nutrition counseling to help you achieve your goals and, if you wish, special personalized diets and monitoring at great prices.
- Measurement of the tibiobrachial index to assess the presence of peripheral vasculopathy.
- Assessing sleep quality and investigating sleep apnea.
- Assessing risk from tobacco use and offering smoking cessation programs.
- Physical activity monitoring and assessment of physical exercise capacity.
- Evaluation of indicators of social and mental satisfaction.
- Assessment of all the interventions that need to be done in order to effectively reduce the cardiovascular risk and active support, according to your wishes.
- Comprehensive preventive medicine advisory guide to estimate the total necessary screening you should have had, according to your age
