Cardiac Screening

The clinic staff provides advice and performs tests for the diagnosis and prevention of cardiovascular morbidity:
 

Ergometry (cardiac stress test)

During the test, you'll be asked to do a graded effort. An electrocardiogram (EKG) will be recorded to spot abnormal patterns, and your blood pressure and heart rate responses will be checked, both during the effort and at rest. How do we do it? We use a walking conveyor belt, hand bike, or pedal bike. The test takes around half an hour, and you'll get the result right away.

How do you prepare? 

Make sure to wear comfortable clothes for the test, and have a light snack beforehand. Don't forget to bring a referral letter and the commitment form (Form 17) with you.

Please note: the test cannot prevent or predict a future heart attack, nor does it rule out hidden heart disease.

Echocardiography

Echocardiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses ultrasound to examine the heart. The procedure typically takes around 20 minutes, and the results are usually available on the same day or within the next day.

How do you prepare? 

You don't need any special preparation for the test. Just make sure to bring a referral letter and a commitment form (Form 17). For more information about echocardiography, click here.

Sports Medicine

At the sports medicine clinic, we conduct comprehensive tests to assess heart function (for athletes and non-athletes alike, and for those interested in getting an evaluation). We encourage children and adults, including those with chronic illnesses, to engage in regular physical activity that improves coping with various diseases.
