Specialist heart assessment close to home
A cardiology consultation begins with a detailed review of symptoms, medical history, current medicines and cardiovascular risk factors. The doctor may check blood pressure, pulse and previous reports before recommending the next appropriate step.
Patients often seek a heart specialist for chest discomfort, breathlessness, unusual tiredness, palpitations, high blood pressure, cholesterol concerns, diabetes-related heart risk or follow-up after a cardiac procedure.
Depending on the clinical assessment, further testing such as an ECG, echocardiography or hospital-based cardiac investigations may be advised.
Common reasons to book
- Chest pain and breathlessness assessment
- Blood pressure and cholesterol management
- Palpitations and irregular heartbeat evaluation
- Heart-risk assessment for diabetes and family history
- Follow-up after angiography, angioplasty or stent placement
