Our services
Non-invasive cardiology
The main non-invasive cardiology examinations allow the diagnosis or monitoring of cardiac pathologies such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvulopathy, arrhythmia and hypertension.
​
New technologies
3D cardiac ultrasound: To quickly, reliably and accurately assess cardiac function and anatomy, ultrasound is the method of choice. Tremendous progress has been observed in recent years on the power and quality ofs cardiac imaging devices, allowing ever more precise interpretation and diagnosis. This examination is an essential part of the cardiac check-up. It will be carried out with the Vivid 3D E95, one of the best equipment available on the market.
​
Stress test & Stress echography: The standard stress test is a classic cardiology examination for assessing a number of additional parameters during a cardiovascular work-up. Above all, it is used to rule out a cardiac cause for chest pain. Stress ultrasound is a more powerful test. During this thest, the stress test is coupled, in real time, with a multiplanar cardiac ultrasound, which eliminates most of the doubts that can be encountered with a standard stress test.
​
Spiroergometry: Spiro-ergometry is an examination which, during exercise, analyses all the gas exchanges taking place within the alveoli of the pulmonary tree. This data is particularly valuable in two very specific situations:
-
A breathlessness (dyspnoea) assessment to understand the cardiac or pulmonary involvement in your symptom.
Assessment of respiratory thresholds in athletes (amateur or professional) in order to determine personalised training heart rates and draw up a specific programme to improve performance.
​
Collaboration​
We work in close collaboration with the INCCI as well as national and international cardiology centers.
