Signs worth discussing.
Symptoms can vary from person to person. A cardiologist can help determine whether they relate to coronary artery disease or another cause.

Your assessment
Evidence first. Then a plan.
Testing is selected around your symptoms and clinical history. Not every patient needs every investigation.
Non-invasive testing
ECG, laboratory testing, echocardiography, stress testing or cardiac CT may be considered.
Coronary angiography
When clinically indicated, angiography can define significant narrowing and guide treatment decisions.
Specialist care
Care that stays connected.
Your consultation, testing and follow-up can be coordinated through one clinical pathway.
Medical management
Medication and risk-factor management can reduce symptoms and future cardiovascular risk.
PCI and stenting
Catheter-based treatment may be considered for suitable coronary narrowing.
Long-term prevention
Follow-up focuses on blood pressure, cholesterol, activity, medicines and symptom changes.
