What to Expect During Your Visit
Your first appointment will begin with a thorough consultation. Our cardiologist will ask about your symptoms, medical history, lifestyle, and any family history of heart disease. Please bring a list of any medicines you currently take – this helps us provide the most accurate assessment.
Based on your consultation, our cardiologist may recommend one or more diagnostic tests. Most of these tests are non-invasive (they do not involve surgery or injections) and can be completed during or shortly after your visit. All results will be explained to you in clear, simple terms.
After your assessment, our team will discuss a personalised care plan with you. This may include lifestyle guidance, medicines, regular monitoring appointments, or referral to a specialist for further care. Your family is welcome to join these discussions – because managing heart health is a team effort.
