Cardiac services

Cardiologists work to diagnose, assess and treat people with a wide variety of heart conditions such as:

• angina
• arrhythmia
• coronary heart disease (also known as ischaemic heart disease)
• endocarditis
• heart attack
• heart failure
• heart murmurs
• heart valve disease

There are also many other sudden and chronic heart conditions we diagnose and treat at our hospitals.

How we help

Our cardiologists provide a number of different cardiology services to help with the diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions.These can be non-invasive and interventional which means no surgery is involved, or invasive which involves surgery but with minimal invasive techniques.

Diagnostic cardiology / Non-invasive cardiology

Investigations include:

• ambulatory ECG monitoring
• blood pressure monitoring
• echocardiography (transthoracic and transoesophageal)
• exercise tolerance testing
• HeartFlow analysis
• tilt table testing
• cardiac imaging
• MRI and CT scans
• myocardial perfusion

Invasive cardiology

Invasive cardiology includes:

• angiography
• aortic valve implant
• catheter ablation
• cardioversion
• complex pacing
• coronary stenting
• electrophysiology
• implantable loop recorder
