Cardiology on the Gold Coast

A cardiovascular risk assessment brings together blood pressure, lipids, family history and lifestyle factors into a single reviewed picture.

Chest pain assessment covers investigation of chest symptoms where coronary disease is one of the possibilities being considered.

Hypertension and dyslipidaemia are managed together, since raised blood pressure and abnormal lipids often occur in the same patient.

Heart palpitations and rhythm disorders are investigated to establish what the underlying rhythm actually is.

Heart failure review covers assessment of cardiac function and the ongoing monitoring that follows a diagnosis.

Heart valve disease assessment uses echocardiography to examine valve structure and function.

Breathlessness assessment looks at reduced exercise tolerance where a cardiac cause is being investigated.

Metabolic syndrome is assessed from a cardiology perspective, where clustered risk factors affect cardiovascular management.

Preventative cardiology is for people with risk factors or family history who don't currently have a diagnosed cardiac condition.

Post-procedure cardiac review covers specialist follow-up after a cardiac event or intervention.

Cardiac monitoring is the ongoing specialist review of a known cardiac condition over time.

Echocardiography will be performed in two dedicated rooms within the cardiology suite.

Cardiac stress testing assesses how the heart responds to controlled physical exertion.

Stress echocardiography combines exercise testing with imaging in one of our two echo rooms.
