CARDIOLOGY AT HOME
Cardiology Tests in Madrid, Performed at Home
Cardiology Tests in Madrid are performed by DomoMed in the comfort of your home, including ECG, Holter ECG monitoring and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.We travel with portable medical equipment, explain how each test works and provide a report prepared by a specialist cardiologist.These tests help assess heart rhythm, detect possible arrhythmias and analyse blood pressure during everyday activities, all in a convenient way and without unnecessary travel.
ECG at Home
A resting electrocardiogram is the standard initial test used to assess the electrical activity of the heart at rest.In just a few minutes, it provides important information about heart rhythm, heart rate and possible conduction abnormalities.
What Does the Test Involve?
The test records the heart’s electrical activity using electrodes placed on the chest, arms and legs.It is painless, does not require fasting and is performed while the patient is resting.We carry out the test at your home using modern, advanced equipment and provide the results with a report prepared by a specialist cardiologist.
Common Indications
- Palpitations.
- Dizziness or a feeling of unsteadiness.
- Initial cardiology assessment.
- Assessment before certain procedures or treatments.
- Chest pain.
- Presyncope or feeling faint.
- Follow-up for patients with a history of heart conditions.
- Monitoring of patients with cardiovascular risk factors.
Holter ECG at Home
Many heart rhythm abnormalities occur intermittently and may not be detected during a brief medical consultation.A Holter ECG continuously records the heart’s rhythm during everyday life, increasing the likelihood of capturing the actual symptoms when they occur.
What Does the Test Involve?
A small portable device records the heart’s electrical activity for 24, 48 or up to 72 hours using adhesive electrodes placed on the chest.The patient can continue with their usual daily routine while their heart rhythm is recorded.Our devices include a symptom button that allows the patient to mark the exact moment when discomfort or symptoms occur.
Common Reasons for Holter Monitoring
- Palpitations or fast, irregular or forceful heartbeats.
- Presyncope or feeling faint.
- Assessment of premature beats, pauses or bradycardia.
- Follow-up after changes in treatment or a cardiology assessment.
- Dizziness or unsteadiness with no clear cause.
- Syncope where a cardiac cause is suspected.
- Assessment of previously diagnosed arrhythmias.
24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
Blood pressure varies throughout the day and night, and a single reading taken during a consultation may not accurately reflect the patient’s usual blood pressure.Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring records blood pressure over 24 hours while you carry out your normal activities and while you sleep.
What Does the Test Involve?
We place a cuff around your arm and connect it to a small portable device.The equipment takes automatic readings at scheduled intervals throughout the day and night, allowing us to analyse average blood pressure, fluctuations and changes during sleep.Once the monitoring period is complete, we review the results and provide a report prepared by a specialist cardiologist.
Common Indications
- High blood pressure readings during a consultation that require confirmation.
- Suspected masked hypertension.
- Assessment of blood pressure during sleep.
- Suspected white coat hypertension.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of antihypertensive treatment.
- Clinical decisions requiring a more accurate assessment.
