In the Consultative Polyclinic of Nemiriv Municipal Hospital, the Functional Diagnostics Department plays a crucial role in the prevention and early diagnosis of various health conditions. The department offers several advanced diagnostic services aimed at detecting cardiovascular disorders, including:
- Electrocardiography (ECG):
- This is a primary diagnostic method used when patients experience chest pain. It's a non-invasive and informative test that records the electrical activity of the heart from 12 different angles (leads).
- Additional leads, rhythmograms, and stress ECGs (ECG with exercise stress testing) are also performed for more detailed analysis.
- 24-Hour ECG and Blood Pressure Monitoring:
- These tests are essential for detecting rhythm disturbances, conduction abnormalities, and coronary insufficiency over an extended period.
- Exercise Stress Testing (Veloergometry):
- This diagnostic tool is crucial in evaluating the body's response to physical exertion, revealing functional capacities that may not be apparent at rest.
- Spirometry:
- Used in cases of respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, cough, asthma, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
- Spirometry measures lung function, including forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). It helps diagnose and differentiate between chronic and functional respiratory disorders.
- Pharmacological tests can assess bronchial responsiveness and the efficacy of bronchodilator therapy.
The department also utilizes modern telemedicine capabilities, transmitting ECG data to diagnostic centers for consultation with regional specialists when necessary. These comprehensive diagnostic services not only facilitate early detection and treatment but also contribute to the overall preventive healthcare approach of the hospital, ensuring timely intervention and personalized care for patients.
