Cardiac Centre at Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital

The cardiac department at Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital offers a comprehensive service for the investigation and treatment of heart conditions.

Quality, individual care, together with expert treatment at our cardiology centre

Quality, individual care

When you visit our Cardiac Centre, any cardiac tests will be carried out in a calm, professional, safe and clean hospital setting. Our experienced staff will ensure that your visit with us is as comfortable and relaxed as possible and they'll be on hand to answer any questions you may have, or simply to provide you with some reassurance.

Our philosophy is to always make the process of cardiac testing and treatment crystal clear to patients, by having the experts take time to explain what is happening and why. You'll be given all the information you need on how to prepare for your test, what it involves and how long it will take.

Fast results

Because any potential problem with your heart are worrying, we understand that you'll want to have your results as soon as you possibly can. Once you have had your investigations, the results will be analysed and passed to your consultant for interpretation.

Your consultant will then either send a full comprehensive report to your GP or arrange a further appointment with you to discuss the results, so that appropriate treatment can be planned, if necessary.

Expert care for everyone

You don't need to have private medical insurance to benefit from the services offered at our Cardiac Centre. You can simply pay for yourself on the day you have your appointment.

However, if you have insurance, you should contact your insurer prior to your appointment to ensure you're covered for the investigation you need - you'll also need to bring your insurance details with you.

Treatments available include:

Coronary angioplasty (PCI or PTCA), Bypass surgery (CABG), Valve surgery, Pacemakers, Electrophysiological studies and radio-frequency ablations (RFA).

Our investigations include:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) - Measures both the rate and the electrical conduction of the heart.
  • ECG monitors - Measures the heart's electrical activity and rhythm to track changes in activity over a period of time.
  • Blood pressure monitors - Records the change in blood pressure with activity by measuring your blood pressure at intervals over a period of time.
  • Exercise ECG test - Assesses the blood supply to the muscle of the heart via the coronary arteries, or assesses the heart's response to exercise.
  • Echocardiogram - Provides a specialised ultrasound scan of the heart to give a range of information including the size, function and pressures of the heart, as well as information regarding the heart valves.
  • Coronary angiography - Is a specialised X-ray test of the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. It is one of the most accurate ways to diagnose coronary artery disease.
  • Stress Echocardiogram - Is a version of an echocardiogram but monitored during exercise.
  • CT Angiogram - Is a specialised test of the coronary arteries under CT.


Your consultant or GP may suggest one or more of these investigations, so that he/she an plan an appropriate programme of treatment.
