Frequently Asked Questions about Cardiology (FAQ)

• How should I prepare for a heart ultrasound or an ECG?

Usually, no special preparation is required. It is sufficient to arrive in a relaxed state, without rushing and without having undergone significant physical exertion immediately before the examination. If you are taking medication on a regular basis, there is no need to stop taking it without your doctor’s advice.

• Can I have the examination and consultation in a single visit?

In many cases, yes. This is facilitated by our clinic’s own diagnostic facilities: ECGs, heart ultrasounds and laboratory tests are available on-site.

• How often should an ECG be done for preventive purposes?

If you have no symptoms, it is best to discuss the frequency with your doctor, taking into account your age and risk factors. In practice, after the age of 40, an ECG is often included in an annual preventive check-up, and in cases of high blood pressure, arrhythmia, diabetes or other risk factors, monitoring may be required more frequently.
