Functional exploration consists of diagnostic techniques which permit the understanding of the functional value of an organ, that is its ability to fulfil its physiological functions.

The medical-technical options offered by the Functional Exploration Service of the Institut Hospitalier Franco-Britannique are available as much for patients who are being cared for in the establishment (either hospitalised or in external consultation) as for those referred to us by outside doctors, other hospitals, clinics and dispensaries.

This service has long been recognised for its competence in ultrasound exploration of cardiac problems linked to systemic ailments (amyloidosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, sarcoidosis, polymyositis, Behçet’s disease, antiphospholipid syndrome, Sneddon’s syndrome etc.).

The facilities offered by the service are charged at the agreed public-health tariff (one third is at the expense of the patient or of a mutuelle complementary insurance) with no added fees. The only exception is sports medicine (consultations and tests of effort for athletes) which are carried out by the hospital on a private basis.



Examinations are carried out by appointment only on a medical prescription provided in advance.

The service is open Monday to Friday from 08h00 to 18H00



The work of the service is divided into these sectors:

Cardiocirculatory Exploration

Standard electrocardiography for adults and children
Conventional effort electrocardiography for adults and children on a treadmill or ergometric bicycle which may be coupled to a measuring apparatus for exhaled gases
Holter ECG for adults and children (continuous recording by an electrocardiogram for 24 hours)
Transthoracid echocardiography for adults and children
Transoesophageal echocardiography
Stress echocardiography
Vascular echography and Doppler
Ambulatory measure of blood pressure for adults and children (MAPA Holter)


Neuro-sensorial exploration

Electroencephalography for adults and children


Respiratory Exploration

Respiratory functional tests
Bronchial fibroscopy

Sleep pathology

Nocturnal respiratory polygraphy

Sports medecine and physiology

Sports medicine activities in the Fonctional Explortation Service are provided on a fee-paying, private basis; fees are paid directly by cheque or in cash to the doctors concerned. Some of the sum paid may be reimbursed by the public health service; the rest is at the patient’s charge or at that of a complementary mutuelle insurance.

Sports trauma consultations for athletes
Sports effort test with or without measurement of exhaled gases (VO2)
