Cardiovascular health directly impacts most of our other Specialist services. Therefore the cardiology team works closely alongside many of our other Specialist teams as well as managing a wide variety of their own cases. The team accepts referrals in murmur investigation, whether congenital or acquired, breathing difficulties, exercise intolerance, collapsing episodes and arrhythmias.
Diagnostics
- Echocardiography with spectral and colour flow Doppler.
- Electrocardiography (ECG)
