| Field of investigation | Method & Diagnostic Focus |
| Heart morphology | 3D echocardiographySpatial representation of the heart chambers for exact volume and function measurement. |
| Electrical cable | Resting & exercise ECGCheck conduction and search for exercise-induced arrhythmias. |
| Flap apparatus | Doppler/duplex sonographyMeasurement of blood flow velocities for the graduation of valve defects. |
| Vascular elasticity | Arterial pulse wave analysisDetermination of vascular stiffness and central blood pressure. |
| Stress tolerance | ErgometryObservation of blood pressure and ECG behavior under increasing physical load. |
| Heart biomarkers | Special laboratoryDetermination of values such as NT-proBNP (heart failure) and high-sensitivity troponin (muscle damage). |
