Functional Diagnosis of the Cardiovascular System in Ambulatory Practice

Abstract

The concept of "functional diagnostics" includes various methods of studying and evaluating the functions of body organs and systems, both at rest (electrocardiography, electroencephalography, echocardiography) and during exercise (bicycle ergometry). and treadmill test, transesophageal) can be performed. heart rate, breathing test during electroencephalography, etc.). Loading refers to the creation of artificial conditions for the operation of the studied organ or system under "extreme" conditions, which allows the detection of hidden pathological changes. In some cases, stress tests with various drugs are used, where the triggering factor is chemicals. The most common example is a test with drugs that expand the bronchi in the study of the function of the respiratory system. A separate class should be allocated for long-term studies (24-hour Holter electrocardiogram monitoring, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, etc.).
