Measures blood pressure over 24 hours, providing a detailed profile of the patient's blood pressure in daily life, helping adjust antihypertensive treatments.

Holter Monitor

A portable device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity for 24-48 hours, helping detect arrhythmias and other cardiac anomalies, essential for diagnosing unexplained palpitations and fainting.

Visual and Auditory Evoked Potentials

Neurophysiological tests that evaluate the response of sensory nerves to visual and auditory stimuli, aiding in diagnosing conditions like multiple sclerosis and optic and auditory neuropathies.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Records the heart's electrical activity, allowing detection of arrhythmias, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions, a basic tool in the initial evaluation of heart problems.

Echocardiogram with Myocardial Strain Analysis

Measures the movement and deformation of the myocardium, providing detailed information on heart function, crucial for evaluating ventricular function in cardiomyopathies.

Temporary Pacemakers

Devices that temporarily regulate heart rhythm in patients with bradycardia or heart block until a permanent pacemaker is implanted, vital in cardiac emergencies.
