We offer a weekly one stop cardiac clinic which aims to diagnose patients at risk of cardiac events.

Our range of non-invasive cardiology investigations to give you peace of mind.
- Blood tests - to assess certain levels in the blood which might show you have heart problem
- Blood pressure check
- Urine analysis - to check for diabetes
- Assessment of body mass index (BMI) - to review your weight in relation to your height
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) - to measure both the rate and electrical conduction of the heart
- Echocardiogram a specialised ultrasound scan of the heart which gives a range of information including the size and function of the heart
- Exercise ECG - to assess the blood supply to the muscle of the heart via the coronary arteries and the heart's response to exercise.
Following the tests you will have a review with a consultant cardiologist who will discuss the results with you.
