Examination and treatment of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, heart attack
The heart is the engine of our life. It supplies the entire body with blood and vital nutrients via the aorta and a sophisticated vascular system. Coronary artery disease (CAD) caused by atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) is one of the most common causes of heart disease in Europe. With preventive check-ups at JUVENIS in Vienna, the risks of a heart attack or stroke can be identified at an early stage.
Treatments & Therapies
Examinations for heart attack and other heart diseases
Modern examinations such as cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), carotid ultrasound using color duplex, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and cardiac catheterization (coronary angiography) make the heart and vessels visible and facilitate a careful diagnosis by our specialists – the prerequisite for optimal treatment with medication (antihypertensives, statins, antithrombotics) or minimally invasive procedures (balloon dilation, stent implantation, bypass).
Please contact JUVENIS by phone at +43 1 236 3020, by e-mail at empfang@juvenismed.at or via the contact form, to arrange a consultation or treatment appointment.
However, atherosclerosis can also narrow other blood vessels: for example those in the legs, which manifests itself as intermittent claudication (peripheral circulatory disorders, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, PAVK), or the carotid arteries (CAVK, risk of stroke) with impaired blood flow to the brain with symptoms such as visual disturbance, dizziness or syncope (loss of consciousness).
Treatment procedure
The preventive examination for the prevention of heart and vascular diseases follows the motto "Prevention is better than cure." The patient interview (medical history) together with simple examinations such as clinical status (age, body weight and height, heart sounds, breath sounds), resting ECG, blood pressure and laboratory analysis of blood lipids (cholesterol) as well as long-term blood sugar (HbA1c) serve to assess the cardiovascular risk of experiencing a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years and allow an individualized prevention strategy (personalized medicine). Functional examinations such as echocardiography (echo), carotid duplex, oscillography and arterial pressure measurements, 24-hour ECG and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring as well as exercise testing (ergometry) are valuable for diagnostics and as preventive tools. Because the earlier the risk of a heart attack or stroke is recognized, the better they can be prevented.

FAQs
Coronary heart disease is a disease of the coronary arteries in which vessel narrowings lead to reduced blood flow to the heart. As a result, the heart muscle may no longer receive sufficient oxygen.
Angina pectoris describes a Tightness or pressure in the chest, which is often caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. The symptoms often occur during physical exertion or stress.
Possible symptoms include:
Chest pain or a feeling of pressure
Shortness of breath
Chest tightness
Pain in the arm, back, or jaw
rapid fatigue
Dizziness or nausea
In the event of sudden severe chest pain, shortness of breath, or suspected heart attack, you should immediate medical help seek medical attention.
Common causes and risk factors are:
Arteriosclerosis (vascular calcification)
High blood pressure
high cholesterol levels
Smoking
Diabetes
Overweight
Physical inactivity
Depending on symptoms and risk profile, the following may be performed:
detailed medical history
Physical examination
ECG and stress ECG
Echocardiography
Blood tests
Further cardiac examinations
Initially, a detailed discussion about your symptoms, medical history, and risk factors will take place. Afterwards, individually appropriate examinations will be carried out.
Treatment may include:
Lifestyle changes
Drug therapy
control of risk factors
Regular cardiology check-ups
in certain cases, further interventions
Important measures are:
Smoking cessation
Regular exercise
Healthy diet
Blood pressure and cholesterol control
stress reduction
Yes. Shortness of breath can be an indication of cardiovascular diseases and should be medically evaluated, especially if it occurs during exertion.
Costs depend on the scope of diagnostics and therapy. The initial consultation (depending on the required examinations) costs from € 290 to € 350.
The Exact prices will be provided in a personal consultation..
Since these are medical examinations and therapies, a (partial) coverage of costs by the health insurance is often possible.
At JUVENIS you benefit from modern cardiological diagnostics, individualized care and experienced specialist physicians. Through early assessment and targeted therapy, the risk of serious cardiovascular diseases is sustainably reduced.
