At Bath Clinic, cardiology care is consultant-led and tailored to your individual needs. You will benefit from fast access to specialist assessment, modern diagnostic facilities and clear, personalised diagnosis and treatment planning.
From your first appointment right through to follow-up care after a surgical procedure, the focus is on your accurate diagnosis, reassurance, and long-term heart health.
Heart conditions are treated by consultant cardiologists, doctors who specialise in diagnosing, managing, and preventing disease of the heart and cardiovascular system.
Cardiologists are highly trained medical specialists who assess symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, and dizziness. They use a combination of clinical expertise and diagnostic tests to identify the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan for you.
There are different types of cardiologists, depending on the condition being treated:
Cardiologists often work as part of a wider team, which may include cardiac nurses, physiologists and, if surgical treatment is required, cardiac surgeons.
Cardiology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the heart and blood vessels. Cardiologists diagnose and manage a wide range of cardiovascular conditions, from common issues to more complex disorders. These may include:
Cardiology also plays an important role in prevention, helping reduce the risk of future heart problems through early assessment and expert lifestyle guidance.
The cost of a private cardiology appointment depends on the type of consultation and whether additional tests are required.
If you require cardiology treatment, you can choose to fund your treatment through self-pay (paying for yourself) or use private health insurance. We work with most major providers, and our friendly advisory team can help guide you through using your cover.
Our flexible payment options help you spread the cost of your payment across a time period that suits you. We offer fixed-term monthly payment plans over one to five years with no deposit required. If you decide to pay over 10 months, you will pay interest-free. If you are paying for a longer period, you will pay 9.9% APR.
Your initial appointment with a consultant cardiologist is designed to be thorough and focused on your unique health concerns. Your cardiologist will begin by discussing your symptoms, medical history, and any relevant family history. You may be asked about:
A physical examination is usually performed, including listening to your heart and lungs and checking your blood pressure. If needed, further investigations may be arranged on the same day or shortly afterwards to further investigate your heart problems.
Depending on your symptoms, your cardiologist may recommend diagnostic tests to assess your heart function and identify underlying causes.
Common tests include:
Your cardiologist will explain each test clearly and discuss how the results guide your care.
You may benefit from seeing a cardiologist if you are experiencing symptoms that could indicate a heart condition or if you have known risk factors. Common reasons include:
Private cardiology allows you to access assessment quickly, often without needing a GP referral.
Cardiology is not only about treating existing conditions. Many patients attend cardiologist appointments for preventative assessment, particularly if they have risk factors such as high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.
This type of screening focuses on the arteries and circulation, which play a key role in your heart health. Conditions such as atherosclerosis (the narrowing or hardening of the arteries) can increase your risk of heart attack or stroke but may not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Vascular screening may include a combination of non-invasive tests, such as:
These tests help build a clear picture of your cardiovascular risk and overall vascular health.
Private vascular screening is particularly beneficial if you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, a smoking history, or a family history of heart disease. It can also provide reassurance if you are concerned about your heart health but are not currently experiencing symptoms.
Following your assessment, your consultant will explain the results and, if needed, recommend lifestyle changes, monitoring, or treatment, to help reduce your risk and support long-term heart health.
Being diagnosed with a heart condition can feel overwhelming at first, but many people go on to live full, active and independent lives with the right support and management.
Heart conditions vary widely, from high blood pressure and arrhythmias to more complex conditions such as heart valve disease or coronary artery disease. While symptoms and severity differ, common experiences may include fatigue, breathlessness, chest discomfort, or reduced exercise tolerance. These symptoms can affect daily routines, work, and overall quality of life if not properly managed.
Living with a heart condition often involves a combination of medical treatment, lifestyle adjustments and regular monitoring. Your cardiologist may recommend medications to control your symptoms, improve heart function or reduce risk, alongside guidance on diet, physical activity and stress management. Small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference to your long-term heart health.
Emotional wellbeing is also an important part of living with a heart condition. It is natural to feel anxious or uncertain after a diagnosis, particularly if symptoms affect your confidence or independence. Having access to clear information, regular follow-up appointments, and a supportive clinical team can help you feel more in control of your health.
With early diagnosis and appropriate care, many heart conditions can be effectively managed. Ongoing support from your cardiologist ensures your treatment plan evolves with your needs, helping you maintain the best possible quality of life.
In some cases, heart disease may require surgical or interventional treatment to improve blood flow, repair structural problems or manage more complex conditions. While not all heart conditions need surgery, it can be an important option when symptoms are severe, progressive or not responding to medication alone.
There are different types of procedures depending on the condition being treated. Some are minimally invasive, while others involve more complex surgery. Common treatments include:
Before recommending surgery, your cardiologist will carry out a full assessment, including diagnostic tests, to understand your condition and overall health.
You will be guided through all available options, including the benefits, risks and expected outcomes.
