Non-invasive procedures
We offer the following non-invasive procedures at the hospital:

- Cardiac stress testing
- Ambulatory blood pressure recording
- Echocardiogram

Our consultants have clinics throughout the week. Once your heart condition has been diagnosed, patients will be referred to an appropriate consultant with a special interest and experience in that area.
