Israeli medicine has achieved great heights in the detection of the heart diseases and blood vessels diseases. It continues to successfully apply all the technical innovations developed in the world.
Methods of diagnostics are divided into invasive and non-invasive, which often appear in the complex.
Among the non-invasive methods are:
-
Chest x-ray. This method is not always allows to correctly analyze the data and therefore is rarely used.
-
Computed tomography (CT) and virtual coronarography
-
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Blood clots, damage valves and blood vessels are well seen. Today magnetic resonance angiocardiography (virtual angiography)is available with the use of the latest contrasting drugs.
-
Echocardiogram (ECHO) - continues to remain one of the main methods of diagnostics of the heart and vessels diseases because of its simplicity and low cost. It makes it possible to study separate structures of the heart and the movement of blood in different parts of the cardiovascular system (Doppler ECHO)
Among the invasive methods are:
-
Catheterization of the Central veins and arteries.
-
Catheterization of the heart and main vessels, coronarography may be performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In many cases diagnostic coronarography turns into therapeutic one.
Specific methods of examination and appropriate training of Israeli doctors allow them to confidently diagnose the patient within the shortest possible period of time. It precipitates further prescription of qualified therapeutic or surgical treatment.
