Prevention
Assessment of overall cardiovascular risk is a key element of your consultation.
Diagnosis
Most patients come to see a Cardiologists for a diagnosis of their symptoms. For example, patients may have palpitations, breathlessness, chest pain or blackouts. All of these can usually be diagnosed easily without recourse to special investigations.
Ultrasound examinations
For patients with heart murmurs or a previous cardiac problem, an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) is often needed to clarify the exact problem and help direct treatment. Echocardiography can be done during the consultation and so there is no need to make a separate booking.
