Diagnostics

As your general practitioners, we see ourselves as your central point of contact for all medical matters. We are happy to coordinate further preventive, rehabilitative or, if necessary, inpatient measures for you. We also carry out home visits if required.

As specialists in internal medicine and general medicine, we are available to you in particular for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the internal organs (e.g. cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes mellitus, etc.): Cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes mellitus, etc.).

In addition to a broad standard laboratory, we offer you further laboratory tests (e.g. saliva hormone analyses, microbiome analyses, special immunodiagnostics, methylation studies, e.g. biological age): Saliva hormone analyses, microbiome analyses, special immunodiagnostics, methylation studies, e.g. biological age).

Electrocardiograms at rest and under stress (bicycle ergometer) are two important procedures for detecting cardiovascular diseases.
With Custo-med Diagnostik, the Clinic has a powerful, modern cardiological PC-ECG system for internal medicine.

A 24-hour ECG and blood pressure recording can be helpful in clarifying high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia.

• Heart rate
• Oxygen saturation
• Eye movements
• Leg movement
• Muscle tension

Heart rate variability (HRV) describes the adaptability of an organism’s heart rate. In a healthy state, the heart rate is constantly adapted to momentary requirements (e.g. pleasure, relaxation, stress, sport, etc.). If this ability is lost, this can indicate the presence of a health disorder.

The aim of the lung function test is to record the functional state of the airways and lungs as accurately as possible. It is part of check-ups and sports fitness examinations. It is also used to monitor the progression of lung diseases (COPD, bronchial asthma).

A modern ultrasound machine is available for check-ups and a specific, gentle examination of the thyroid, blood vessels, heart and abdominal organs. The vascular Doppler examination can be used to assess the condition of the veins and arteries based on blood flow volume and blood flow velocity. Determining the thickness of the vessel wall (intima-media thickness) can detect atherosclerosis at an early stage and provide information for prophylactic measures against heart attacks and strokes.

Preventive examinations and check-ups are important tools for the early detection of risk constellations and diseases. Primary, secondary and tertiary prevention measures can thus be implemented in a targeted manner.

Before a planned surgical procedure, an individual risk assessment and determination of suitability for surgery is necessary. In addition to a detailed discussion, depending on the risk constellation, a blood sample, an ECG and, if necessary, further diagnostics (e.g. lung X-ray, stress ECG) are carried out. If you are taking blood thinners or antidiabetics (e.g. metformin) in particular, you should be seen at an early stage.

Für eine Impfberatung bringen Sie bitte Ihren Impfpass mit. In einer Reiseimpfberatung werden Impfvorschriften und Impfempfehlungen besprochen. 
Ausserdem erhalten Sie Informationen über besondere Infektionsrisiken. Bitte bei Terminvereinbarung bereits das Reiseziel angeben. Eventuell nicht vorrätige Impfstoffe können so ggf. besorgt werden.

Falls Sie nach längerer Pause wieder beginnen möchten Sport zu treiben oder Sie sich höhere sportliche Ziele gesteckt haben, sollten Sie zum Ausschluss etwaiger Risiken eine Sporttauglichkeitsuntersuchung durchführen lassen. Für Tauch- und Flugsport ist eine solche Untersuchung sogar gesetzlich vorgeschrieben.

Auch im Breitensport wird zur Trainingssteuerung zunehmend die sogenannte Laktat-Ergometrie eingesetzt. Es handelt sich dabei um einen stufenförmig
 ansteigenden Belastungstest. Zur Ermittlung der Blutlaktatwerte wird am
 Ohrläppchen eine geringe Menge Blut entnommen und sofort labortechnisch
analysiert. Ziel ist es, die individuelle aerob-anaerobe Schwelle zu bestimmen.
Es können damit individuelle Empfehlungen zu Fettverbrennung und
Trainingsoptimierung gegeben werden.

Auf Wunsch erstelle ich Ihnen gerne eine ärztliche Bescheinigung oder ein Gutachten.
