About Cardiology & Cardiothoracic Surgery
Heart disease remains one of the leading causes of illness worldwide, but many cardiovascular conditions can be successfully managed or even prevented with early diagnosis and expert care.
Cardiology is the medical specialty focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
No. You can book a consultation directly with our Cardiology team. If another healthcare provider has referred you, our specialists will work closely with your referring doctor to ensure continuity of care.
What should I expect during my first cardiology appointment?
Your first visit will typically include a detailed discussion about your medical history, lifestyle, symptoms, and family history. Depending on your condition, your cardiologist may recommend tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, blood tests, or other cardiac investigations to understand your heart health better.
Can I have my heart tests and consultation on the same day?
Where clinically appropriate and appointments are available, we strive to coordinate your consultation and diagnostic tests on the same day to make your visit as convenient and efficient as possible.
Do you provide second opinions for heart conditions?
Yes. If you have been diagnosed with a heart condition or advised to undergo a cardiac procedure, our consultant cardiologists are available to provide expert second opinions, helping you make informed decisions about your treatment.
What heart conditions can be treated without surgery?
Many cardiovascular conditions, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart rhythm disorders, and some forms of coronary artery disease, can often be managed with lifestyle changes, medication, and minimally invasive procedures. Your cardiologist will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your condition.
