31.08.12 Functional diagnostics

The residency is aimed at training a specialist in the field of functional diagnostics, able to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the state of human organs and systems using non-invasive and instrumental methods of investigation for the purpose of early detection of diseases, monitoring the effectiveness of treatment and assessment of prognosis. The program is focused on the formation of professional competencies necessary to ensure the continuity of the diagnostic process, prevention of complications and support clinical decision-making within the framework of primary, specialized and emergency medical care. Key areas of training include: Cardiovascular diagnosis: performing electrocardiography (ECG), daily Holter monitoring of ECG and blood pressure, stress tests (bicycle ergometry, treadmill test), echocardiography, Doppler imaging of main and peripheral vessels, cardiopulmonary testing. Respiratory function assessment: performing external respiratory studies, including spirometry and bodiplasmography, and interpreting results in the clinical context. Examination of the nervous system: performing electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and other neurophysiological diagnostic techniques to clarify the nature and localization of neurological disorders. Providing emergency diagnostics: participation in the provision of medical care in emergency situations, application of functional methods for rapid assessment of vital functions and diagnosis of acute conditions.
