You can come to us for the following tests:
Upper and lower abdomen ultrasound
An ultrasound is an examination that visualizes the inside of a person and is able to detect any abnormalities of your organs in your abdomen.
General X-ray examination
An X-ray examination reveals the hard parts of your body (such as bones) and can diagnose fractures and certain other abnormalities.
Spirometry lung function tests
In spirometry, lung capacity is measured using a device you have to blow into. You blow several times into a device that records lung capacity.
Sleep apnoea registration
During a polygraph examination, we measure whether you have obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), a common condition that often goes unrecognized.
Exercise ECG
This is a test in which an ECG is taken while you cycle on an exercise bike. Through the ECG, we gain insight into how your heart responds to exercise.
24-hour blood pressure measurement
In a 24-hour blood pressure measurement, your blood pressure is measured for 24 hours. This makes it possible to chart the course of your blood pressure.
24-hour ECG (holter ECG)
A holter recording is a test that examines how your heart functions over a long period of time. Your heart rhythm is recorded for 24, 48 or 72 hours.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
An ECG provides information about the condition and function of your heart. During the examination, the electrical currents emitted by the heart itself are measured.
Laboratory testing
At Euro Clínica Rincón, you can have blood drawn and also drop off other materials intended for laboratory tests. We cooperate with a local research laboratory.
