Your cardiologist will obtain a detailed history from you and perform a physical examination as well as an ECG. Further investigations such as an echo and/or exercise testing maybe required. 

Clinical Medical Assessment

Cardiac Consulting

A Holter monitor is a battery-operated portable device that measures and records your heart's activity (ECG) continuously for 24 to 48 hrs. A blood pressure cuff can also be worn for 24hrs to monitor average BP.  Patients and the referring doctors will be informed of results.

Portable monitoring

Holter and BP Monitoring

This includes and ECG and/or ECHO.  This will be done while you exercise which allows the doctor to assess what happens to your heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, and heart muscle function.  The addition of echo can greatly increases the accuracy of the test. All our cardiologists are expert in this form of cardiac evaluation. 

Exercise Technician

Exercise Stress Testing

Using the latest ultrasound equipment, we can visualise your heart directly.  This test gives us a great deal of information into your heart structure, function, valve function, major vessels and the lining of the heart.

Cardiac imaging

Echocardiography

This is an invasive procedure to image your heart’s arteries (the coronary arteries) to evaluate for blockages. It is used when your doctor suspects that you have heart disease. Drs Ng and Jangwal perform this procedure.

​

Cardiac Catheterisation

Angiography

Pacemakers and defibrillators are small devices used to control abnormal heart rhythms. We are offer a comprehensive check of your devices run by Prof Keech and Prof Kilborn.

Device Checks

Defibrillators and Pacemakers

EPS is a highly specific invasive investigation designed to assess how well your heart's electrical circuit works. A/Prof Kilborn runs both our and RPAs EP service.

Heart Rhythm Assessment

Electrophysiology Studies

We offer evaluation for key hole replacement of the aortic valve without the need for open heart surgery.  Prof Ng runs both our and RPAs service.

Heart Valve Replacement

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
