- An irregular rhythm alert from a wearable device
Your assessment
Evidence first. Then a plan.
Testing is selected around your symptoms and clinical history. Not every patient needs every investigation.
ECG and rhythm monitoring
An ECG may identify atrial fibrillation. Holter or longer monitoring can help when episodes come and go.
Heart structure and risk
Echocardiography and relevant laboratory tests may be used to assess heart structure and contributing factors.
Specialist care
Care that stays connected.
Your consultation, testing and follow-up can be coordinated through one clinical pathway.
Reduce preventable risk
Stroke risk, blood pressure, sleep, weight and other contributing factors are considered.
Control rate or rhythm
Medication or procedural options are discussed according to symptoms, rhythm pattern and overall health.
Stay connected
Follow-up tracks symptoms, treatment response and any changes in risk over time.

Let us guide youCommon questions
About Atrial fibrillation.
How is atrial fibrillation diagnosed?
Diagnosis usually starts with an ECG. If the rhythm is intermittent, a wearable monitor such as a Holter may be recommended.
Does every patient need the same treatment?
No. Treatment depends on symptoms, episode pattern, stroke risk, other conditions and personal preferences.
Can I bring smartwatch rhythm recordings?
Yes. Bring any rhythm notifications or recordings, along with previous ECGs and your medication list.
