Continuous care for patients with chronic diseases

Why is monitoring chronic diseases important

Chronic diseases (e.g. asthma, COPD, diabetes, heart failure or high blood pressure) cannot be completely cured, but their course can be stabilized and slowed down.
Regular monitoring helps:

• to check the effectiveness of treatment,
• to recognize deterioration of health condition in time,
• to prevent hospitalizations and complications,
• to improve the patient's quality of life and self-sufficiency.

Our goal is for a patient with a chronic disease to live a full and active life for as long as possible.

How is ongoing monitoring carried out at the Vasmedic clinic

Before starting regular monitoring, it is necessary to first undergo a comprehensive initial examination, which includes a thorough medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and functional measurements (e.g. spirometry, FENO test, ECG or chest X-ray).
Based on these results, the doctor determines the diagnosis, treatment plan and schedule of regular check-ups.

Subsequently, check-ups take place at intervals determined by the doctor - usually every few months, depending on the severity of the disease and the patient's current health condition.
During the check-ups, the effectiveness of the treatment, the development of the disease and any need for therapy adjustments are monitored.

At the Vasmedic clinic, patients are monitored in the form of regular check-ups.
Part of the care includes:

• clinical examination and consultation with a doctor,
• monitoring of respiratory and cardiovascular functions,
  spirometry, FENO test, X-ray or lung ultrasound,
• checking of laboratory parameters (e.g. blood count, CRP, liver tests, blood glucose),
• assessment of the effectiveness and tolerance of the treatment,
• adjustment of medication or treatment regimen,
• patient education on the correct use of medications and a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks to the connection of experts from multiple specialties (pulmonologist, internist, cardiologist, neurologist and others), we provide a comprehensive view of the health status.

For which diseases is monitoring most important

• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Bronchial asthma
• Vascular and heart disease
• Diabetes mellitus
• Chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases
• Immune disorders or long-term infections

Each disease has its own specific monitoring regimen, which the doctor will adapt to the needs of the individual patient.
