Cardiology

Our cardiology team cares for many different heart diseases, including those with symptoms that stop you in your tracks. But we also offer early treatment for conditions that might not affect you much right now but could have a significant impact down the road. 

Maybe you already have a diagnosis. Or maybe you just feel something isn’t quite right. We’re here to help you with:

• Angina.
• Aortic disease.
• Atrial fibrillation (Afib) and other arrhythmias.
• Cardiomyopathy.
• Coronary artery disease.
• Heart failure.
• Heart infections.
• Heart valve diseases.
• High blood pressure.
• Inherited heart diseases.
• Lipid disorders, including hyperlipidaemia.
• Peripheral artery disease.

Cardiac tests

Wondering what’s happening with your heart? Let’s find the answers together. We offer a full range of cardiac testing at all our locations, and we’ll bundle them to make your booking as convenient as possible. We know you might be anxious about the results, so we won’t keep you waiting. Our consultants provide prompt results so we can start discussing treatment.

We offer a broad range of cardiology services, from lifestyle coaching to valve procedures and heart failure treatment. Whether you’re worried about a family history of heart disease or trying to understand what a diagnosis means for your future, our experts will create a care plan that meets your needs.

Heart disease prevention and management

Our cardiologists are prepared to care for your heart long before any symptoms arise. For example:

• We offer heart-healthy lifestyle coaching to help you learn practical changes you can make in your daily routine.
• If you have an inherited disease or complex lipid disorder, we assess your heart disease risk and offer appropriate treatment.
• If you need surgery for any health condition, we perform preoperative assessments to reduce your risk of cardiac complications.

Interventional Cardiology

The cardiologists on our team collaboratively perform minimally invasive interventional procedures. This means we use imaging guidance and catheters (thin tubes) to treat many conditions affecting your:

• Coronary arteries.
• Heart valves.
• Heart chambers.
• Heart muscle.

Our experts specialise in complex coronary disease, such as chronic total occlusion and disorders of the aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves.

Heart failure diagnosis and treatment 

As leaders in the field, we offer complete care for every stage of heart failure to lower your risk of hospitalisation and improve how you feel day to day. This means we’re able to offer hope to those with even the most complex forms of heart failure, such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and advanced heart failure. 

Cardio-oncology

Cancer treatment can take a toll on your heart, causing concerns like:

• High blood pressure.
• Heart muscle disease.
• Heart failure.

We offer cardio-oncology services to assess your heart health before and after cancer treatment. Our experts care for any heart damage (cardiotoxicity) that may develop throughout your cancer treatment journey — even if it’s years later.

Lead management and device extraction 

If you have a pacemaker, biventricular device or implantable cardioverter defibrillator, our experts provide 24/7 remote monitoring. We make sure your device is working properly and receive immediate notifications if you have any abnormal cardiac events. 

We also perform procedures to upgrade devices, replace batteries and add leads when necessary. Electrophysiologists and cardiac surgeons jointly perform complex lead extraction procedures.

Sports cardiology 

You don’t want anything to stop you from doing what you love. That’s true no matter your age, sport or competition level. But heart disease isn’t an obstacle you can overcome alone. From congenital heart disorders to conditions that develop later in life, our sports cardiology team is here to help. We’ll evaluate your situation using the most advanced imaging available, including stress echocardiography and cardio-pulmonary exercise testing. Then, we’ll work with you to develop a safe training plan that keeps you moving toward your biggest ambitions.  

Renal denervation

We offer renal denervation as a treatment for resistant hypertension (high blood pressure that doesn’t respond to medications and lifestyle changes). Our interventional cardiologists, endocrinologists and interventional radiologists work together to coordinate your care.

Performed in our cardiac catheterisation lab, renal denervation is an innovative procedure that can bring down your blood pressure. This reduces your risk of complications like heart attack, stroke and kidney damage. 

Do I need a referral?

You don’t need a referral to book your cardiology appointment. And you don’t need one if you’re using self-pay. However, most private medical insurance providers require a GP referral to authorise treatment. Our Cleveland Clinic London GPs are here to help you. When you call to book your cardiology appointment, simply let us know you need a referral. We’ll guide you through the process.
