• Consultation – A discussion and examination with a consultant cardiologist, either in person at our state-of-the-art clinic in Warrington or over a video call if that is easier for you.
• ECG – An electrocardiogram (ECG – or EKG in the US) is a standard non-invasive cardiovascular test that records the electrical activity of your heart to measure its rate and rhythm. The recorded electrical waves can be analysed to look for evidence of cardiovascular problems including (but not limited to) heart chamber enlargement, heart muscle thickness and previous heart muscle damage.
• Echocardiogram (echo) – A non-invasive test that uses soundwaves to build up pictures of your heart. It’s the same kind of ultrasound technology that is used to scan pregnant women, as well as a range of other health applications.
• CT Scan – This is one of the more detailed types of scan available. X-ray dye is injected through a small tube in your arm vein, and the scan is timed to take pictures of the colouring travelling through your coronary arteries. The scans are reconstructed using software to create highly detailed 2D and 3D images of the vessel. These images can show narrowing due to soft plaque with a high degree of accuracy. Soft, mixed plaques are more likely to cause heart attacks. If no plaque is visible your risk of a cardiac event is extremely low.

We accept all the major private health care insurers, and we have finance options.
