One-Stop Cardiology Clinic

The One-Stop Cardiology clinic offers initial assessment and investigations for patients with a wide range of cardiac conditions or where you have general concerns about your cardiac health. The clinic is particularly suitable for:

Initial Assessment of Symptoms:

Cardiac problems can result in several different symptoms. The clinic can provide an initial assessment of symptoms which can be an indicator of cardiac disease and offer guidance on need for any further investigations. Symptoms of cardiac disease may include:

• Chest pain
• Breathlessness
• Palpitations
• Dizziness / Light-headedness / Blackouts

Cardiac alerts from smart devices such as Apple watches or other wearable heart rate / cardiac monitors can also be assessed in the clinic.

Heart Valve Disease / Murmurs

• You have been told you have a murmur which requires investigation
• You have heart valve disease - such as mitral regurgitation or aortic stenosis - which requires monitoring or more detailed assessment
• You have had heart valve surgery which requires monitoring or you are concerned about the function of a previous heart valve repair or replacement

ECG abnormalities
