• 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
• Pulse wave velocity and ankle-brachial index

02

Respiration, metabolism and further examinations

• Cardiopulmonary exercise testing and lung function tests
• Breath test for suspected lactose or fructose intolerance
• Sleep and snoring analysis
• Heart rate variability
• Metabolic and body composition analysis
• Blood pressure, pulse and blood glucose measurement
• Genetic tests relating to nutrition- and muscle-associated traits (not a sufficient basis for nutritional recommendations on their own)
• Activity and energy expenditure monitoring
• Vision and hearing tests

03

Laboratory diagnostics and rapid tests

The practice works with Labor Dr. Wisplinghoff for all its laboratory diagnostics. Urine tests and a range of rapid tests are also available directly on site.

• Rapid tests for markers of heart muscle damage and blood clotting, streptococcal infection, glandular fever or bowel inflammation, among others, and a faecal occult blood test. In case of acute chest pain or shortness of breath, call 112 immediately.
• Urine tests including a nine-parameter test and tests for protein or unusual bladder findings
• Testing of ticks brought to the practice for Borrelia. The result neither confirms nor rules out infection in a person. A positive result is not a reason for preventive antibiotic treatment.
