Vascular check-up

Vascular diseases often go unnoticed until a stroke or heart attack occurs. However, this can be avoided through early detection and appropriate treatment. We therefore advise certain risk groups to have an effective vascular check-up in Berlin. Calcium and fat deposits on the vascular walls are not necessarily a sign of old age. Younger people can also be affected by unfavorable lifestyle and dietary habits.

Risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, an elevated cholesterol level or smoking are particularly conducive to the development of vascular disease. If there is a corresponding risk or a hereditary predisposition, countermeasures must be taken in good time. During a thorough vascular check, we therefore check the permeability, elasticity and wall thickness of your blood vessels. Based on the results, we can initiate treatment if necessary.

Vascular check-up as a preventive service

This old saying also applies here, because a vascular check-up can make a significant contribution to maintaining your health. We differentiate between these variants in diagnostics:

Large vessel check-up

Vascular check-up as a preventive service

We do not limit ourselves to a specific region of the body, but examine your venous and arterial vessels in all areas (neck, abdomen, legs, pelvic region). After a medical history and a comprehensive diagnosis using color duplex sonography, a detailed consultation and a detailed report to your family doctor follow. The second, detailed variant is considered an individual health service (IGeL) and therefore a private medical examination. It is not usually covered by statutory health insurance.

After taking a detailed medical history, we use ultrasound (color duplex sonography) to examine the blood vessels in a specific region of the body. Depending on the indication, we concentrate on the neck, abdomen, legs or pelvic region. You will then receive a detailed consultation and, of course, a medical report for your family doctor.

Varicose veins are a degenerative disease of the vein wall in the leg veins that predominantly affects women. Their development is favored by risk factors such as pregnancy, obesity, but also lack of exercise or hereditary predisposition.

Varicose veins are a degenerative disease of the vein wall in the leg veins that predominantly affects women. Their development is favored by risk factors such as pregnancy, obesity, but also lack of exercise or hereditary predisposition. Those affected often complain of hot, heavy or painful legs and suffer a significant loss in quality of life. Possible complications include oedema, skin changes, bleeding and dangerous thromboses.

If you suffer from varicose veins, there is a whole range of treatment options available to you. The prerequisite for this is a thorough diagnosis. The vascular check-up essentially consists of three steps:

01. anamnesis

The main questions asked here are about previous illnesses, current complaints and family history (varicose veins, thromboses and other illnesses).

02. physical examination

Visible varicose veins, oedema, eczema, ulcerations and subcutaneous palpable hardening are already clear indications of chronic venous insufficiency for the specialist.

03. duplex sonography

The vein structure is precisely visualized using ultrasound. The doctor obtains information about the diameter and permeability of the vessels as well as the functionality of the venous valves. Based on the results of the examination, we can provide you with suitable treatment suggestions.
