World Hypertension Day: Take advantage of top-notch preventive care at AGEL Plus Polyclinics
High blood pressure? You can only recognize it by measuring it
Hypertension cannot be recognized without regular blood pressure measurement – most people do not experience any symptoms. If the blood pressure value is repeatedly higher than 140/90 mm Hg, it is advisable to undergo a comprehensive examination which can include ergometry and other advanced methods.
Why not underestimate prevention
Early diagnosis of hypertension and other heart and vascular diseases can significantly affect the length and quality of your life. The main risk factors include genetics, but especially everyday habits – overweight, smoking, lack of exercise, excessive salt consumption and stress. Lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the risk!
Premium AGEL Plus care: Comprehensive examination in one place
As part of the AGEL Plus program, AGEL clinics in Prague, Ostrava, Pilsen and Olomouc offer not only regular blood pressure measurements, but also a wide range of modern preventive examinations with an emphasis on comfort and an individual approach:
- Ergometry – a stress examination of the heart, which reveals disorders of blood circulation in the heart muscle at rest and during exertion.
- ECG – a basic recording of cardiac activity, allowing for the early detection of arrhythmias or other changes.
- Echocardiography – an ultrasound examination of the heart that evaluates its structure and activity.
- Calcium score – a special CT examination that measures the amount of calcium in the heart arteries, which is an excellent indicator of the risk of atherosclerosis.
- Laboratory tests – a comprehensive blood analysis that reveals other risk factors, including cholesterol and sugar.
