Angina is a form of chest pain that happens due to impairment of blood flow to the heart muscle. If diagnosed on time, effective treatment of angina can lead to considerable improvement in the quality of life and wellbeing. This service is also for patients with previous established history of angina and heart attacks who want another assessment or review of their symptoms and formulate a treatment strategy.

Palpitations include anything from a missed beat to a racing sensation of the heart. The underlying reason for these symptoms could be a variety of factors and many are not serious. However, these require specialist assessment and may cause life changing or threatening consequences if not treated in time.

To distinguish benign from serious palpitations, we offer long duration of ECG monitoring lasting for 1-7 days (Holter ECG Monitor). You may also need an Ultrasound scan of the heart (Echocardiogram) to identify the cause so that it can be effectively treated. This service is also for those with known heart rhythm disorders who have a recurrence of symptoms or want a review of their management.

This is a common symptom and may be due to other causes but, if due to a heart condition, may be a symptom of heart failure. This is diagnosed with careful assessment of symptoms, specialised blood test(s) and an Echocardiogram. This then requires long term careful monitoring and adjustment of treatment.

Although this could be due to various reasons, not always from the heart, however dizziness due to cardiovascular pathology is usually serious and requires prompt diagnosis and treatment.

This would include Echocardiogram and Holter ECG monitoring. If a cardiac cause is established, then effective treatment strategies are available including prompt referral to a local NHS hospital or tertiary care centre.

This is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Timely control and effective management strategies can drastically reduce the cardiovascular risk due to high blood pressure. We offer advice and treatment for this condition and provide access to 24-hour BP monitoring.

We offer a variety of blood and cardiovascular tests to help assess the risk of heart disease, any hidden cardiac condition and also just simply assess cardiovascular health. You will go through a series of tests and then be seen by a consultant cardiologist who will discuss the results and any symptoms in detail and advise on further steps.
