The modern <b>Heart care<\/b> today goes a decisive step further: we look directly into your blood vessels. Using a painless ultrasound examination of the carotid arteries (carotid ultrasonography), we can measure the thickness of the vessel wall and look for early arteriosclerotic deposits (plaques).<span class=\"s1\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/span><\/p><p class=\"p3\">The detection of such plaques means that the disease process of arteriosclerosis has already begun in you. This finding has a high prognostic significance and often leads to your individual risk being classified higher and a more consistent preventive therapy being recommended.

We see ourselves as your long-term partner on this journey. After the initial examination, we work with you to set realistic goals and schedule regular check-ups. At these appointments, we review the success of the measures introduced (both lifestyle changes and medication), adjust the strategy if necessary and motivate you to stay on your path. This continuous management is the key to long-term success.<\/p><p class=\"p2\"><b>Frequently asked questions about heart care<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p3\">Here we answer frequently asked questions about cardiac prevention.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>What is a \u201erisk score\u201c and how is it calculated?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">A risk score is a medical calculation tool.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/span> It uses your personal data such as age, gender, smoking status, systolic blood pressure and cholesterol levels to calculate your statistical probability of suffering a fatal or non-fatal cardiovascular event in the next ten years. It is a key tool in the <b>Heart care<\/b>.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>My father had a heart attack. How high is my risk?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">A positive family history is an important, independent risk factor that increases your personal risk.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>6<\/sup><\/span> However, it does not mean that you will necessarily suffer the same fate. Rather, it is a strong argument for starting early with a consistent <b>Heart care<\/b> and to optimally adjust all controllable risk factors.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>I \u201eonly\u201c have slightly high blood pressure. Is that already a risk?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Yes, there is no threshold value above which blood pressure \u201esuddenly\u201c becomes dangerous. The risk increases linearly with every mmHg. Even a \u201ehigh-normal\u201c blood pressure damages the blood vessels in the long term. Early treatment, often initially through lifestyle measures, is an important part of <b>Heart care<\/b>.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>Can arteriosclerosis be seen as part of heart screening?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Yes, direct visualization of the coronary arteries is only possible with invasive methods, but ultrasound of the carotid arteries as part of the <b>Heart care<\/b> serves as a \u201ewindow\u201c to your entire vascular system. If we find deposits (plaques) here, we know that the process of arteriosclerosis is also taking place in other parts of the body, including the heart.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>What is more important: lifestyle or medication?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">The basis of every <b>Heart care<\/b> is always a healthy lifestyle. For low or moderate risk, this may already be sufficient. In the case of high or very high risk, a healthy lifestyle is still fundamental, but often not sufficient to achieve the aggressive therapy goals (e.g. very low LDL cholesterol). In this case, medication is an indispensable and life-saving supplement.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>How does preventive heart care differ for men and women?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">The basic risk factors are the same, but their weighting and severity can differ. In women, the <b>Heart care<\/b> after the menopause is particularly important. In addition, women-specific risk factors such as complications during pregnancy are included in a modern risk assessment.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>I am athletic and slim. Is a heart screening unnecessary for me?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">No. A healthy lifestyle significantly reduces your risk, but does not eliminate it completely.<span class=\"s1\"><sup>7<\/sup><\/span> Genetic risk factors in particular, such as a high lipoprotein(a) or a familial tendency to high blood pressure, can also be present in people who are fit as a fiddle. A <b>Heart care<\/b> creates clarity and security here.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>What is the difference between cardiac screening and an exercise ECG?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">The exercise ECG is an important <i>Part<\/i> a comprehensive <b>Heart care<\/b>, but not the screening itself. It tests the function of the heart under load. However, a complete screening also includes the analysis of \u201esilent\u201c risk factors (laboratory), the heart structure (ultrasound) and the condition of the blood vessels (vascular ultrasound).<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>Does my health insurance cover the costs of heart screening?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Private health insurance companies generally reimburse the costs in full. As a private practice, we are not licensed to treat patients with statutory health insurance. A purely preventive <b>Heart care<\/b> in a patient without symptoms is an individual health service (IGeL) and therefore a self-payment service.<\/p><p class=\"p4\"><b>How do I find the right doctor for my heart screening in D\u00fcsseldorf?<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Look for a specialist in cardiology who ideally has additional qualifications in preventive medicine. Certifications such as \u201eHypertensiologist DHL\u00ae\u201c or \u201eLipidologist DGFF\u00ae\u201c, as Dr. Raphael Bruno has in his practice in D\u00fcsseldorf, are a clear sign of a high level of expertise in preventive medicine. <b>Heart care<\/b>.<\/p><p class=\"p2\"><b>Take your risk into your own hands<\/b><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Your heart health is the result of genetics, environment and, above all, your own choices. A professional <b>Heart care<\/b> gives you the knowledge and tools to make the right decisions. At Dr. Raphael Bruno's practice, we are your partner in analyzing your personal risk and developing an effective prevention strategy.
