Cardiovascular Risk & Vascular Health in Vienna

Cardiovascular risk describes the personal likelihood of developing a cardiovascular disease over time. This includes, among others, coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke and arterial circulatory disorders.
Various factors are considered together when assessing risk. These include, for example, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, blood sugar, weight, physical activity, smoking, family history, existing preconditions and previous findings.

As part of the consultation, an ultrasound examination of the carotid arteries and leg arteries is performed to detect the presence of plaques and identify early signs of atherosclerosis in time.

OA Dr. Markus Müller analyzes this information not in isolation but in the overall context. This provides a realistic assessment of your personal risk profile – as a basis for targeted prevention and treatment.

Not every risk factor has the same significance for every person. That's why a personalized approach is crucial. At JUVENIS, a plan is developed together with you that fits your medical situation, daily life and health goals.
Possible focus areas include:

• Blood pressure control and hypertension management
• Optimization of cholesterol and blood lipid levels
• Assessment of blood sugar and diabetes risk
• Weight and metabolic management
• Smoking cessation and lifestyle counseling
• Physical activity, nutrition and stress factors
• Review of existing medication and findings
• Long-term follow-up checks

The aim is not only to improve individual values but to sustainably reduce overall cardiovascular risk.

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease, abbreviated PAVK, is an arterial circulatory disorder, usually in the legs. It is often also called "shop-window disease" because affected people experience pain when walking and have to stop repeatedly.

Typical signs can include:

• Pain in the calf, thigh or buttock when walking
• Relief of symptoms at rest
• Cold feet or legs
• Wounds that heal poorly
• Reduced walking capacity
• Known risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol levels

PAVK should be taken seriously because it not only affects the leg arteries but is often an expression of a generalized vascular disease. Timely evaluation helps slow progression and better assess the risk of further cardiovascular events.

At JUVENIS, OA Dr. Markus Müller assists with medical classification, risk assessment and planning of further steps.

Good health management means not reacting only when symptoms occur, but recognizing and actively managing risks early. A structured, long-term approach is particularly sensible for cardiovascular and vascular diseases.

OA Dr. Markus Müller emphasizes comprehensible medical advice. Existing findings are evaluated, risk factors discussed and concrete measures defined. This creates an individual health plan that links prevention, diagnostics, therapy and follow-up.

This is especially useful for people who want to actively maintain their health, already have elevated values, or have a family predisposition.

An evaluation is particularly recommended if one or more of the following apply:

• You have high blood pressure.
• Your cholesterol or blood lipid levels are elevated.
• You have diabetes or elevated blood sugar levels.
• You smoke or have smoked in the past.
• There is a history of heart attack, stroke or vascular disease in your family.
• You notice leg pain when walking.
• You would like to have your cardiovascular health checked as a precaution.
• You want a structured health management program with medical supervision.

It begins with a detailed medical consultation. Complaints, pre-existing conditions, family risks, lifestyle and available findings are discussed. Afterwards, the individual medical assessment is made.

As part of the consultation, an ultrasound examination of the carotid and leg arteries is carried out to check for the presence of plaques and detect early signs of atherosclerosis in time.

Depending on the initial situation, further examinations, laboratory tests or specialist evaluations may be useful. On this basis, OA Dr. Markus Müller draws up a clear recommendation for the next steps.

The focus is on clarity, individuality and long-term prevention. Consultations with Dr. Markus Müller are conducted in German, English or French.
