Cardiac Services
ECG, echocardiography, stress testing, Holter monitoring and colour Doppler — complete non-invasive cardiac assessment in one visit.
Cardiology
Non-invasive assessment, read together
Cardiac tests answer different questions, and they are most useful when read as a set: an ECG shows the electrical picture, an echo shows the mechanics, a stress test shows what happens under load, and a Holter catches what only appears intermittently.
Same-visit testing
ECG, echo and Doppler can usually be completed in a single appointment rather than across three.
Consultant reported
Traces and images are interpreted by a qualified consultant, not issued as a machine printout.
Urgent findings escalated
A dangerous trace is acted on immediately — the treating doctor is phoned, not sent a report next week.

Reasons people come to us
- Chest pain, tightness or pressure — particularly if it comes on with exertion
- Palpitations, or a sense that the heartbeat is irregular or racing
- Breathlessness that is new, or worse than it used to be for the same activity
- Dizziness, light-headedness or blackouts
- Known hypertension, diabetes or high cholesterol needing periodic assessment
- A pre-operative cardiac clearance requested by your surgeon
If you have chest pain right now, or pain spreading to the arm or jaw with sweating or breathlessness, do not wait for an appointment. Treat it as an emergency and get to the nearest emergency department.
