Functional body assessment

Functional diagnostics differs from laboratory tests: it shows how systems work under load and at rest, rather than their biochemical status. This is the second layer of the status picture.

Minimum set: resting ECG (12 leads), spirometry (FVC, FEV1, Tiffeneau index), heart rate variability (HRV) measurement to assess the autonomic nervous system. On indication, exercise test, tonometry with orthostatic challenge and ABI (ankle-brachial index) are added.

HRV is the key marker for retreat: it reflects the balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, which directly correlates with recovery potential. Low HRV is a signal that detox and device-based procedures should be started more gently.

All examinations take 60–90 minutes in total and are performed in the functional diagnostics room of Villa 01. Equipment is medical-grade and calibrated daily.
