About the department

What cardiologists treat

Cardiology is the care of the heart and the blood vessels that supply it. A cardiologist works out what is behind symptoms such as chest tightness (angina), breathlessness, palpitations or blackouts, manages long-running conditions like high blood pressure and raised cholesterol, and follows patients after a heart attack, a stent or bypass surgery. A large part of the work is preventive — finding and treating risk long before it becomes an event.

When it is an emergency

Sudden severe chest pain — especially with sweating, nausea, or pain spreading to the arm, back or jaw — is a medical emergency. Call your emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department instead of booking an appointment.

When to see a cardiologist

These are the reasons people most often book this department. None of them is a diagnosis — that is what the consultation is for.

Chest tightness, heaviness or pain that comes on with exertion
Breathlessness climbing stairs that is new or getting worse
Palpitations, or a heartbeat that feels irregular
Fainting, or feeling close to fainting, without a clear cause
Blood pressure or cholesterol readings a doctor has flagged
A parent or sibling who had heart disease before the age of 55
Tests and scans

What a consultation may include

Your doctor decides which of these, if any, actually answer the question — booking a scan before anyone has examined you often means the wrong scan.

  • ECG (electrocardiogram)
  • 2D echocardiography
  • Treadmill stress test (TMT)
  • 24-hour Holter monitoring
  • Lipid profile and blood sugar
  • CT coronary angiography
Questions, answered

Cardiology — common questions

No — you can book directly. Bring any earlier ECGs, echo reports, blood tests and a list of the medicines you take; they change what your cardiologist looks at first.

Chest pain that comes on with exertion and eases with rest is usually assessed by a cardiologist. Chest pain tied to meals, acidity or a burning sensation is often gastric and may be seen by a gastroenterologist first — if you are not sure, our care team can point you to the right department.

Expect a history and examination, a blood-pressure check and usually an ECG on the spot. Depending on what that shows, your cardiologist may add an echo, a treadmill test or blood work before recommending anything further.

Yes for report reviews, medication changes and follow-ups. A first assessment for new chest pain is better in person, because an examination and an ECG are part of it.
