Your visit
Signs worth discussing.
Symptoms can vary from person to person. A cardiologist can help determine whether they relate to chest pain or another cause.
- Pressure, heaviness, burning or tightness
- Discomfort during walking or exercise
- Pain spreading to the shoulder, arm, back or jaw
- Breathlessness, sweating or nausea
- Recurring discomfort with cardiovascular risk factors
Your assessment
Evidence first. Then a plan.
Testing is selected around your symptoms and clinical history. Not every patient needs every investigation.
Focused cardiac testing
An ECG and relevant laboratory tests may be followed by echocardiography, stress testing or cardiac CT.
A broader clinical view
Not every cause is cardiac. The consultation considers other possible explanations and the safest next step.
Specialist care
Care that stays connected.
Your consultation, testing and follow-up can be coordinated through one clinical pathway.
Treat the underlying cause
Care is based on the diagnosis rather than the symptom alone.
Manage cardiovascular risk
Blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and smoking history are reviewed where relevant.
Plan follow-up
Patients leave with clear guidance on results, warning signs and next steps.
