If you’re currently battling heart problems, you’re not alone. Heart and circulatory disease impacts millions of people across the UK. Although living with a long-term heart condition can be overwhelming, there are many highly effective treatment options available. These are delivered by skilled and experienced consultant cardiologists who specialise in reducing the symptoms of heart disease and can often eliminate the cause of the problem through medication or surgery.
At the Circle Cheshire Clinic in Northwich, we provide the highest standard of private healthcare for the local community. The clinic has a team of dedicated consultant cardiologists who can diagnose and treat your heart condition through a variety of excellent services, from minor to complex surgery. We don’t just treat people based in Northwich – people travel to experience our exceptional care from outside of Cheshire, Greater Manchester, and beyond.
When you go private, you can access the treatment you deserve quickly with the consultant of your choice. To find out more about Circle Cheshire Clinic, call us or book online to arrange your first appointment.
Your first appointment with a specialist is an important step in your journey of having private healthcare treatment. This is the time when your consultant will get to know you, your condition, and your needs.
Although, at first, it can feel nerve-wracking being in hospital, remember that this is your time to get the expert advice you need in an environment designed for your comfort and ease.
The appointment will usually involve an analysis of your medical history as well as a physical examination. Your consultant might decide that you need scans or tests to confirm your diagnosis, such as an X-Ray, MRI, or blood test. You might be asked to return at a later date if this is the case. A follow-up appointment to discuss the results of these tests will be arranged with your consultant.
Once a diagnosis has been made, your consultant will talk you through their findings in detail and what treatment options they recommend. They will answer any questions you might have and take the time to ensure that you feel as informed as possible.
After you have both decided on the best course of action, your consultant will let you know the cost of treatment, which will usually be in the form of a fixed-price package. If you need surgery, your consultant will suggest when this could take place. Otherwise, you will leave your consultation with a series of treatment options to choose from. You will also receive a letter to your home, confirming your diagnosis and options.

There are many healthcare solutions for heart problems. We offer a wide range of treatments for different conditions. Here are some of the most common non-surgical options performed by our excellent team of consultant cardiologists.
No matter what treatment you need, our team of experts at Circle Cheshire Clinic is here to support you on your journey to better heart health.
This is a method for tracking your blood pressure over a full 24-hour period while you go about your normal day and sleep at night. You will wear a small, portable monitor on your arm that automatically takes readings every 15 to 30 minutes. This captures a detailed picture of how your blood pressure changes in real-life situations. Unlike a single reading, ABPM can reveal patterns that may go unnoticed, such as a spike in your blood pressure at a doctor’s appointment, which can interfere with the accuracy of your results. This fuller picture helps your consultant make a more accurate diagnosis and understand how well blood pressure medications are working, ensuring that your blood pressure stays in a healthy range.
An echocardiogram is a test that uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of your heart in real time. During the test, a technician moves a small device over your chest, which sends sound waves into your body. These waves bounce off your heart and create pictures that show your heart’s structure and how well it is pumping blood around your body. The scan can reveal a lot about your heart’s health—like how strong each beat is, if the valves are working properly, and if there are any abnormalities in the chambers of your heart. Consultants use echocardiograms to diagnose and monitor heart conditions, such as heart disease, valve problems, or heart failure.
Cardiovascular screening is a set of tests and evaluations that help assess the health of your heart and blood vessels, aiming to catch any potential problems early. These screenings typically include simple measures such as checking your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar, along with lifestyle assessments around your diet, exercise, and smoking habits. In some cases, your consultant might recommend additional tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG), to measure your heart rhythm or an ultrasound of your arteries to look for any signs of plaque buildup. Cardiovascular screening is valuable because it can reveal risk factors for conditions like heart disease and stroke, often before symptoms appear. By identifying these risks early, we can suggest lifestyle changes and treatment options that help protect your heart health and lower your chances of future complications.
An implantable loop recorder (ILR) is a small device placed just under the skin of your chest that continuously monitors and records your heart’s electrical activity, like an ECG but over a much longer period. This device is used to track irregular heart rhythms, especially if you have symptoms like fainting, palpitations, or unexplained dizziness that don’t happen regularly enough to be caught during a typical ECG. The ILR automatically detects abnormal rhythms and records them, and you can also activate it manually if you are experiencing symptoms. It can stay in place for up to three years, sending valuable data to your consultant, so they can better understand any ongoing heart issues.
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)
This is a method for tracking your blood pressure over a full 24-hour period while you go about your normal day and sleep at night. You will wear a small, portable monitor on your arm that automatically takes readings every 15 to 30 minutes.
