What is Cardiology?
Cardiology is the specialty within medicine that looks at the heart and blood vessels.  Your heart consists of four chambers, which are responsible for pumping blood to your lungs and then the rest of your body. The study of the heart includes the heart muscle (the myocardium), the valves within the heart between the chambers, the blood vessels that supply blood (and hence oxygen and nutrients) to the heart muscle, and the electrical system of the heart which is what controls the heart rate.

Clinics are also held at:

  • Counties Care
  • East Care Specialist Centre
  • Northern Clinic

Referral Expectations

Your GP will refer you to one of our clinics if they are concerned about your heart and want a specialist opinion. 

You need to bring with you to your appointment:

1. Any letters or reports from your doctor or other hospital.
2. Any X-Rays, CT or MRI films and reports.
3. A list of all medicines you are taking including herbal and natural remedies.

    An ECG is a recording of your heart's electrical activity... More

  • Exercise ECG

More

  • Cardiac Arrhythmias

    Your heart rate is controlled by a complex electrical system within the heart muscle which drives it to go faster when you exert yourself and slower when you rest.  A number of conditions can affect the heart rate or rhythm.  Heart rate simply refers to how fast your heart is... More

  • Valve Disease

    Your heart consists of 4 chambers that receive and send blood to the lungs and body.  Disorders affecting valves can either cause stenosis (a narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage after the valve has closed).  Depending on what valve is involved and how severe the damage is it may result in symptoms...
