Examine heart disease, chest pain and shortness of breath with JUVENIS
Examination and treatment of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction
The heart is our engine of life. It supplies the entire body with blood and vital nutrients via the main artery 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 the preventive examinations at JUVENIS in Vienna, the risks of a heart attack or stroke can be detected at an early stage.

Examinations for heart attacks and other heart diseases
Modern examinations such as cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), carotid ultrasound using color duplex, magnetic resonance, computer tomography and cardiac catheterization (coronary angiography) make the heart and blood vessels visible and make it easier for our specialists to make a careful diagnosis - the prerequisite for optimal treatment with medication (antihypertensives, statins, antithrombotics) or minimally invasive interventions (balloon dilation, stent implantation, bypass).

However, atherosclerosis can also constrict other blood vessels: for example, those in the legs, which manifests itself as intermittent claudication(peripheral circulatory disorders, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, PAD), or the carotid arteries (CAVD, risk of stroke) with circulatory disorders in the brain with symptoms such as impaired vision, dizziness or syncope (loss of consciousness).
Treatment procedure
The screening for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases follows the motto "Prevention is better than treatment." The patient interview (medical history) in conjunction with simple examinations such as status (age, body weight and height, heart sounds, breath sounds), resting ECG, blood pressure and the laboratory chemistry of blood lipids (cholesterol) and long-term sugar (HbA1c) serve to assess the cardiovascular risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years and allow an individualized preventive strategy (personal medicine). Functional examinations such as cardiac ultrasound (echo), carotid duplex, oscillography and arterial pressure, 24-hour ECG and 24-hour blood pressure profile as well as ergometry are valuable diagnostic and preventive tools. The earlier the risk of a heart attack or stroke is detected, the better they can be prevented.
