Definition

The Echocardiography is an ultrasound examination of the heart. Today, it is the routine method for diagnosing heart diseases.

Synonyms - Cardiac ultrasound

Autohemotherapy

The use of autologous blood for therapeutic purposes is a so-called 'retuning treatment'. It is based on the idea that with a Disease natural healing processes must be activated and these are enhanced through targeted stimulation therapies.

In-depth internal medical examination

The physical examination includes looking (inspection), feeling (palpation) and listening (auscultation).

Eisenmangel

It may be surprising that even in affluent societies, deficiency symptoms still occur and become significant. This is the case with iron deficiency anemia: 1-2 percent of the adult population is affected by it. A pure Eisenmangel without evidence of anemia (anemia) is already present in 11% of women of childbearing age and 4% of men. Undersupply can also be demonstrated in many children and adolescents.
