Your heart concerns assessed rapidly
With a clear outline for further investigations and personalised treatment plans, our cardiologists can help ease your mind, providing reassurance and relief from symptoms for patients based in Beckenham, Kent, and across central London.
Symptoms of heart disease are varied but may include:
Even if you haven’t been experiencing symptoms, you may also wish to see a specialist for reassurance, especially if you have a family history of heart disease. If coronary artery disease has been a factor for one of your close relatives, or you have issues such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure, seeing a specialist for a wellness check may help to ease any of your concerns.
With extensive diagnostics available at The Sloane Hospital, and expert consultants highly experienced in making accurate diagnoses of heart conditions, you’ll receive a full diagnosis as soon as possible, enabling you to start any necessary treatment at your earliest convenience. Why not take advantage of this premier service and book a consultation with one of our cardiologists today?
By seeing us privately at The Sloane Hospital, you’ll benefit from the fact that all appointments are consultant-led and consultant-delivered. This means when you choose your consultant, you will see them face to face for an individualised service, ensuring high quality care is delivered for your specific needs at all times.
This will normally be followed by a physical examination, during which your consultant will check your blood pressure. Diagnostic scans will be required if you have reported any of the notable symptoms of a heart condition, such as chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations; some of these can be arranged on-site.
An ECG (Electrocardiogram) is the standard exam for anyone presenting with cardiovascular symptoms. This involves sensors being placed around your body which track the electrical activity of your heart and shows the rate at which your heart beats. This is often done during your initial consultation within the clinic, and no preparation is needed beforehand. A variety of heart diseases can be detected this way, such as arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, heart attack and coronary heart disease.
Sometimes, your symptoms may only appear under specific circumstances, or at certain times of the day. In these cases, ambulatory heart monitoring can be used, which monitors and records your heart rate over a set period of time in order to highlight when the issues occur. 24, 48, and 72-hour monitoring is available for you to wear and take home, along with 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, allowing your consultant to report back on findings once the test is complete.
Blood tests may be required in order to measure your blood levels and assess for certain conditions. These tests will be sent to the laboratory for analysis, with rapid turnaround times for results.
Further investigative tests can then be arranged at other local sites if necessary, and your consultant will oversee these with you. Potential tests include:
Once all results are back, your consultant will be able to make a confirmed diagnosis, and they will see you for a follow-up appointment in order to discuss the findings, allowing them to explain your condition to you and outline potential treatment plans.
Any medication required can be picked up at our on-site pharmacy, allowing you to get started on treatment right away. If more invasive measures are needed, such as surgery, your consultant can discuss your options with you and help you prepare.
People are usually referred to us by their GP or are recommended to us by a friend or family member. You can also self-refer.
We treat people with private medical insurance and self-pay patients.
