Our Cardiology Services

Our cardiologist brings specialist training across the full spectrum of cardiovascular medicine, from non-invasive diagnostic testing to complex interventional procedures.

Consultation and Assessment

A thorough, specialist evaluation of your cardiac symptoms, risk factors, and medical history - the crucial first step in understanding your heart health.

Echocardiography

Advanced cardiac ultrasound imaging (TTE, TOE, and stress echo) provides a detailed picture of your heart’s structure and function.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

A fast, painless recording of your heart’s electrical activity, essential for diagnosing rhythm abnormalities, detecting heart attacks, and screening for a range of cardiac conditions.

Stress Testing

Exercise and pharmacological stress testing to detect coronary artery disease, assess symptoms under exertion, and evaluate cardiac risk.

Holter Monitoring

Continuous 24 to 72-hour heart rhythm recording, worn discreetly throughout your normal daily activities, ideal for diagnosing intermittent palpitations and arrhythmias.

Blood Pressure Monitoring

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) over a full 24-hour period to accurately assess hypertension and guide treatment decisions.

Diagnostic Angiography

Minimally invasive coronary angiography to directly visualise the coronary arteries and precisely identify any narrowings or blockages affecting blood flow to the heart.

Coronary Intervention (PCI)

Expert percutaneous coronary intervention (stenting) to treat significant coronary artery disease, relieve angina, and restore normal blood flow to the heart.
