The most common signs and symptoms of cardiovascular disease
- Pain in the chest, at rest or on exertion
- A feeling of tightness in the chest, at rest or during exertion
- Feeling of shortness of breath, at rest or on exertion
- Palpitations
- Darkness before the eyes
- Exhaustion
- Getting tired fast on low exertion


Diagnostic methods of cardiovascular diseases
Polyclinic Neuromedic provides its patients with an examination by cardiology professors and specialists, and we offer important diagnostic methods:
- Electrocardiography – ECG
- Exercise Stress Test
- Stress EHO cardiology test
- Ultrasound examination of the heart with color doppler
- Holter ECG monitoring (24h, 48h, 72h, 120h, 144h, 168h)
- Holter blood pressure monitoring (24h, 48h)
Electrocardiography – ECG
Electrocardiography is a graphic representation of the electrical activity of the heart. It is a fast, painless and non-invasive method. The recording takes 2 or more minutes, and the result is available immediately.
The goal of diagnostics is to detect heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) or ischemia of the heart muscle.
Exercise Stress Test
A physical exercise test is a method used to check the coronary reserve, i.e. the blood supply to the heart.
During the test, whether you are walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike, blood pressure, heart rate, or the number of beats per minute are monitored and recorded on the EKG. In this way, the reaction of the heart to the increased needs of the body for oxygen is monitored. Performing this test is recommended for people without heart problems who have a history of risk factors for the purpose of prevention and early detection of coronary diseases.
Stable heart patients should periodically perform a test in order to monitor the effectiveness of therapy and determine the degree of safety of physical activity

Stress EHO cardiology test
Stress – echocardiographic test involves exposure to a dosed physical load or the use of pharmacological agents dipyridamole or dopamine in order to cause myocardial ischemia, i.e. lower oxygen supply to the heart muscle with continuous monitoring of heart rate, arterial blood pressure and echocardiographic recording.
In the presence of atherosclerosis of the coronary blood vessels, ischemia occurs, which is manifested by a change in the movement of the heart walls, and this is visible echocardiographically.
Heart Ultrasound with Color Dopler
An ultrasound examination of the heart is a non-invasive and completely painless diagnostic method that examines the heart and the large blood vessels of the heart.
With this diagnostic method, it is possible to detect heart valve disease, damage to the heart muscle after a previous myocardial infarction, inflammation of the heart muscle or valves in myocarditis or endocarditis, as well as disease of the large blood vessels of the heart or the presence of blood clots in the pulmonary artery.
Holter ECG monitoring
Holter ECG monitoring is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure and represents a special procedure of continuous monitoring of the heart during a certain period of time, most often during 24 hours, but if necessary, longer.
Indications for Holter ECG monitoring are various cardiac disorders, crises of consciousness, dizziness. Imaging is performed by placing electrodes on the patient’s chest that are connected to a small device that records the patient’s electrocardiogram. While wearing the holter, the patient performs usual daily activities, which he records in the activity diary and communicates them to the cardiologist, in order to interpret the results as accurately as possible.
Holter blood pressure monitoring
This method provides special data on 24-hour average blood pressure, day, night and morning values for the purpose of diagnosing diseases, monitoring the effect of therapy, assessing the risk of complications. It is indicated in patients with high variability of blood pressure as well as in patients with borderline hypertension, then in suspected hypertension during sleep, or episodes of low blood pressure.
