Our services in Othmarschen

Specialist internist advice

The most common diseases of our time develop insidiously and can be detected well in the preliminary or early stages and treated in time. These include in particular cardiovascular diseases, lipometabolic disorders, kidney diseases and diabetes (type II). Take the time for regular preventive medical check-ups.

Ultrasound diagnostics

Ultrasound examination (sonography) is a modern, non-invasive procedure for imaging various regions of the body. The ultrasound device generates harmless, inaudible ultrasound waves which are reflected by the organs and enable imaging. Organs, soft tissues and vessels are made visible on a screen, taking into account the blood flow.
In our practice we offer the following sonographic examinations for an accurate diagnosis of the different body regions:

SONOGRAPHY

We use ultrasound diagnostics to detect diseases and monitor their progression. The practice has a high-performance ultrasound device and a digital ultrasound laboratory as an optimal technical basis. I have acquired the necessary additional qualifications for all internal ultrasound techniques and am a member of the German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM).

COLOR DUPLEX SONOGRAPHY

A special technique can be used to determine blood flow in vessels and tissue perfusion. This allows the detection of possible narrowing and blockages in the arteries supplying the brain (carotid arteries), the arteries in the arms and legs, the abdominal arteries (aorta, renal, hepatic, and intestinal arteries), and the veins (diagnosis of thrombosis and varicose veins).

DOPPLER ULTRASOUND

Doppler sonography is a special ultrasound examination that can be used to measure local blood flow in the legs and the vessels supplying the brain. It allows the direction and speed of blood flow in the blood vessels to be determined. This makes it possible to detect vascular constrictions and injuries, among other things. Doppler sonography, also known as duplex sonography, is a painless diagnostic method that does not require much effort.

echocardiography

Ultrasound diagnostics of the heart is referred to as color Doppler echocardiography, as the blood flow in the heart is displayed in color in a moving image and the anatomy and function of the heart can be viewed from the outside through the chest. This allows the heart chambers, atria, heart valves, and pericardium to be examined and assessed.

ECG, long-term ECG, exercise ECG (ergometry)

An ECG, or electrocardiogram, is used to diagnose heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias and cardiovascular disease, as well as to measure blood pressure.
During the examination, electrodes are attached to the chest, which measure and record the activity of the heart muscles. The measurement takes only a few minutes with the classic ECG and takes place in our practice.

Long-term ECG

In order to be able to record irregular symptoms, we offer a long-term ECG. This involves wearing electrodes for a period of one day in everyday situations.

Stress ECG (ergometry)

Complaints that primarily occur during exertion are examined using a stress ECG under physical exertion at various time intervals.

24h blood pressure measurement

A cuff attached to your upper arm registers your blood pressure day and night. This allows blood pressure values to be assessed more reliably.

Laboratory diagnostics

Since some diseases cannot be detected during a physical examination, blood testing by laboratory diagnosis helps to determine targeted therapies in a differentiated manner. The blood samples are prepared and analysed on the same day they are taken in an outsourced, state-of-the-art practice laboratory.

Pulmonary function test

With this test we determine the current capacity (lung volumes) and the mechanics of the lungs as well as the permeability of the bronchial tubes.

Sleep apnoea diagnostics

A small electronic recording device, which is put on in the afternoon in the practice or late in the evening by yourself, continuously records breathing, heart rate, oxygen saturation of the blood and body position. In this way, harmless snoring can be distinguished from dangerous breathing disorders that can trigger daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure and heart disease.

Medical Check-up

We take time for you: In a detailed patient interview, we clarify your risk profile. The physical examination gives us further information about your state of health. If it is not optimal, I discuss possible effects with you. Together we develop solution models to change unfavourable lifestyle habits. If a disease is suspected or confirmed, we offer you comprehensive modern diagnostics and initiate medically necessary measures if necessary.
