Functional Diagnostics in Kharkiv — Advanced ECG, EEG, REG, and ENMG Studies
Functional Diagnostics at Brigid Medical Center provides non-invasive assessment of the cardiovascular, neurological, and muscular systems through state-of-the-art instrumental studies. Our advanced equipment and expert interpretation help detect early signs of disorders, monitor chronic conditions, and guide precise treatment decisions for the heart, brain, and peripheral nervous system.
Key Advantages of Functional Diagnostics at Our Center
Comprehensive Cardiac Evaluation
Detailed assessment of heart rhythm, conduction, ischemic changes, and blood pressure patterns using ECG and Holter monitoring.
In-depth Neurological Study
Precise mapping of brain electrical activity (EEG) and cerebral blood flow dynamics (REG) for neurological diagnostics.
Peripheral Nerve Assessment
Accurate determination of nerve impulse conduction velocity and muscle response via ENMG to diagnose neuropathies and myopathies.
High-Sensitivity Technology
Modern digital equipment with enhanced sensitivity for reliable, reproducible results and detailed graphical reports.
Expert Clinical Interpretation
Results are analyzed by experienced cardiologists, neurologists, and functional diagnostic physicians with personalized recommendations.
Fast Results and Comfort
Most studies are completed within 20–60 minutes, providing an immediate preliminary conclusion in a comfortable environment.
What is Functional Diagnostics?
Functional diagnostics is a specialized field of medicine that uses non-invasive instrumental methods to evaluate the real-time performance of various body systems. Unlike imaging studies that show structure, functional tests assess physiological activity—electrical impulses in the heart and brain, blood flow dynamics, nerve conduction, and muscle responses. These studies are essential for detecting functional impairments that may not yet manifest as structural changes, making them invaluable for early diagnosis and prevention.
When is Functional Diagnostics Recommended?
Cardiological Symptoms and Conditions:
- Palpitations, irregular rhythm, or "skipped beats" — to detect arrhythmias
- Chest pain, pressure, or discomfort — to evaluate ischemic changes
- Dizziness, fainting, or near-syncope — to rule out cardiac causes
- High or unstable blood pressure — for ABPM and pattern analysis
- Pre-operative clearance — assessing cardiac risk before surgery
- Monitoring pacemakers or arrhythmia treatment — evaluating therapy effectiveness
Neurological Symptoms and Disorders:
- Headaches, migraines, especially with aura — vascular assessment via REG
- Seizures, loss of consciousness, or "absence" episodes — EEG for epilepsy diagnosis
- Dizziness, vertigo, or balance issues — evaluation of cerebral circulation
- Memory problems, confusion, or cognitive decline — brain function assessment
- Suspected sleep disorders — EEG for sleep architecture analysis
- Post-stroke or TIA follow-up — tracking recovery and vascular status
Peripheral Nerve and Muscle Issues:
- Numbness, tingling, or "pins and needles" — ENMG for neuropathy diagnosis
- Muscle weakness, atrophy, or cramps — neuromuscular function assessment
- Radiating nerve pain — evaluation of radiculopathy
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or other entrapment neuropathies — precise localization
- Monitoring nerve recovery after injury or surgery — tracking regeneration
- Suspected myopathy or Motor Neuron Disease — differential diagnosis
What to Expect During Functional Diagnostic Studies
Preparation and Baseline Review
A brief review of medical history and symptoms. Test-specific instructions (e.g., clean hair for EEG, comfortable clothing for ECG). Placement in a quiet, relaxing environment for baseline measurements.
Sensor Placement and Calibration
Careful application of electrodes to specific areas: chest for ECG, scalp for EEG, head for REG, or limbs for ENMG. Conductive gel is used for optimal signal quality. Equipment calibration ensures accurate readings.
Data Recording and Functional Tests
Recording of physiological signals at rest. Some studies include functional provocative tests: deep breathing or positional changes for ECG, photostimulation or hyperventilation for EEG, compression tests for REG, or nerve stimulation for ENMG.
Analysis and Reporting
Computerized analysis of recorded data with manual verification by a specialist. Creation of a comprehensive report featuring graphs, measurements, and interpretation. Comparison with reference ranges and previous studies if available.
Results Discussion and Recommendations
Clear explanation of results by the diagnostic or treating physician. Discussion of implications for diagnosis and treatment. Recommendations for additional testing or specialist referral if needed. Providing a written conclusion for medical records.
