WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
The Brussels Laboratory for Exercise and Top Sport also offers cardiological examinations. Dr. Xavier Galloo, a cardiologist affiliated with the UZ Brussel, has joined BLITS' team of sports doctors since 2023 and performs specific cardiology consultations.
You can consult Dr. Galloo if you have been referred by your family doctor (for example, in case of an elevated blood pressure), if a possible heart defect is suspected during a sports medical consultation (such as rhythm problems or heart murmurs), or if you have specific questions regarding your heart. During this cardiology consultation, an anamnesis is taken and a physical examination is performed that focuses specifically on the heart. In addition, a resting electrocardiogram is taken. Depending on the indication or problem, an echocardiogram, a bicycle exercise test, or a blood draw may also be performed.
If you have been referred by one of our colleagues, this cardiac consultation is covered by the reimbursement scheme of the NIHDI. However, a preventive sports examination is not reimbursed.
