Specialized medical examination

  

Cardiovascular:

   

a) Cardio-vascular medical examination with non-invasive tests to explore heart disease (by a cardiologist)

  

 - Electrocardiogram

  

 - Echocardiography

  

 -Coronary endothelium-dependent vasoreactivity testing (optional exam)

  

b) Non-invasive vascular tests to explore atherosclerosis:

  

 - Systolic index of lower and upper limbs,

  

 -Ultrasound images to measure carotid intima media thickness

  

 - Capillaroscopy to assess Raynaud’s syndrome (optional exam)

  

c) Specific cardiac biological tests:

  

High-sensitive cardiac troponin, BNP, Von Willebrand factor (VWf), tissular Plasminogen Activator (t-PA).

  

Respiratory & Hearing:

  

 - Respiratory Function Tests (RFT)

  

 - Audiogram

  

Blood sampling: exploring metabolic and hormonal disorders

  

 - Hormonal assessment: sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), Luteinizing hormone (LH), Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Estradiol, Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

  

 -Carbohydrate-lipid balance: fasting blood glucose and insulin, lipid fractions, triglycerides;

  

 - Osteocalcin blood Tests: calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D

  

 - Renal assessment: ionograms, creatinine level
