Cardiology

Cardiology focuses on the health of the heart and blood vessels. It encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart diseases and disorders. Our skilled cardiologists are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for all heart conditions, ensuring you receive the most advanced and appropriate treatments available.

Conditions managed

Cardiologists diagnose, treat and manage conditions such as (but not limited to):

• Coronary artery disease
• Heart failure
• Arrhythmias
• Hypertension
• Congenital heart disease
• Valvular heart disease
• Advanced cardiac risk stratification and risk reduction

Special tests and procedures

Cardiologists will need to perform specialised tests, some at the clinic, some in a radiology practice, and others in a hospital. These tests include:

• Echocardiograms
• Electrocardiograms (ECG)
• Cardiac catheterisation and angiography
• Exercise stress tests
• CT Coronary Angiogram (and calcium score)
• 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
• 24-hour, 72 hour or 7-day ECG Holter and event monitoring

If you require one of these tests your cardiologist will discuss the benefits and risks, potential side effects and costs as well as help organise and facilitate these tests for you.

As cardiovascular disease is responsible for 1 in 4 deaths, kills one person every 12 minutes, and costs the economy $5 billion each year, having an experienced, friendly and thorough cardiologist to ensure your heart health is in the best shape can literally be a lifesaver.
