Home Visits with Portable Ultrasound
Medically reviewed by: Dr. Theodoros Barlogiannis, CardiologistLast updated: 26 July 2026
Home visits are intended for patients with limited mobility due to illness or age who find it difficult to travel to the clinic. The cardiologist performs a full clinical examination, an electrocardiogram and a cardiac ultrasound at home, using a high-resolution portable ultrasound device. Diagnostic accuracy is equivalent to an in-clinic examination.
For patients facing mobility issues due to illness, advanced age, or any other problem, access to specialized medical care is crucial. As the cornerstone of the clinic's philosophy is the individual needs of each patient, the Cardiologist provides all medical services both at the clinic and at home.
Our equipment ensures high diagnostic accuracy, offering immediate solutions to patients with limited mobility. Among the services provided at home is the Cardiac Ultrasound examination, which is performed with a state-of-the-art Portable Ultrasound.
The advanced imaging capabilities of the Portable Ultrasound ensure that the examination is conducted with precision and reliability without the need for a visit to the clinic, avoiding potential inconvenience for the patient and their family.
During a home visit and depending on the patient's needs, the Doctor can:
- Take medical history
- Prescribe medication
- Conduct a complete clinical examination
- Holter Rhythm Monitoring
- Holter Blood Pressure Monitoring
- Electrocardiogram
- Cardiac Ultrasound examination
Home visits are arranged personally with the Cardiologist in the areas of Northern Suburbs, with respect and sensitivity towards the patient and their family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which cardiac tests can be performed at home?
A full clinical cardiac examination, an electrocardiogram and a cardiac ultrasound (triplex) with a portable device can all be performed at home. A rhythm or blood pressure Holter can also be fitted. The essential cardiac work-up is thus completed without the patient having to travel.
Who are home visits intended for?
For patients who have difficulty travelling — the elderly, people with mobility problems, patients recovering from hospitalization or surgery — and for anyone for whom transport to the clinic would cause significant strain. Care is adapted to each patient's individual needs.
Is a portable ultrasound examination equally reliable?
Yes. The portable ultrasound device used offers high diagnostic resolution, comparable to the clinic's stationary equipment for routine cardiac indications. If findings emerge that require specialized testing, the cardiologist will direct you appropriately.
