How is treatment carried out in Podebrady
Introductory examination by a doctor
After checking into the spa hotel, the patient undergoes a general medical examination, which is carried out by a practicing cardiologist. When examined by a doctor, an electrocardiogram is mandatory. If the doctor needs a more complete picture of the patient’s cardiovascular system, one of the examination methods may be prescribed to the patient: spirometry (measurement of volumetric and velocity indices of respiration and its effect on the work of the heart), ergometry (indications of the work of the heart during periods of rest and physical activity), Holter ECG, ultrasound cardiography. It is recommended to bring with you the results of the latest laboratory tests and the conclusions of the attending physician, made no later than 6 months ago (a spa card is not required) so as not to waste time and money on additional examinations.

How the cardiovascular diseasesare treated in Podebrady
There are three main ways of treatment for cardiovascular disease in Podebrady:
The first direction is water procedures. The main one is a carbon dioxide bath based on "Podebradka" mineral water. It is taken for 15-20 minutes with a water temperature of 34 °C. The skin is covered with CO 2 bubbles, which is slowly absorbed through the pores. Blood capillaries expand, blood pressure decreases slightly, but the heart works a little faster and the load on it increases slightly. After taking a bath, the patient remains in physical rest for another 30 minutes in order to retain carbon dioxide in the body for as long as possible. Whirlpool baths for upper and lower extremities, pearl baths, underwater massage are also used.
The second direction of treatment of the cardiovascular system is physical rehabilitation, which includes:
- Exercises in the pool or in the gym under the supervision of a specialist
- Exercises on the ergometer simulator
Specially developed methods of group and individual exercises contribute to the improvement of cardiac activity.
And the third direction is Nordic walking in open areas, which is considered an effective method of stabilizing cardiac activity.
