Cardiac Assessment & Consultation
Our cardiologists offer a comprehensive and progressive cardiac care service. Your consultation will involve discussion about your health and medical history. Depending on the individual, the consult may involve addressing preventative issues such as diet, exercise, blood pressure control and cholesterol management as well as any previously identified cardiovascular concerns.
We have a range of cardiologists with special interests in general cardiology, non-invasive testing, echocardiography, coronary intervention, electrophysiology and device implantation including pacemakers and defibrillators.
We cater for not only Adult Cardiology but Paediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Disease.
If it has been identified that further investigation via cardiac testing or a procedure is required this will be discussed with you.
What is a cardiac assessment and consultation?
Your initial assessment and consultation will be an opportunity to meet Dr Young Yu and the team and share information about your health. We’ll discuss all the details about any current concerns, medical history and any other conditions or risk factors that may affect your heart or cardiovascular health.
Why do I need a cardiac assessment ?
Your GP will have referred you to see a cardiologist for more specialised care for any heart concerns. We may perform some initial tests and recommend other procedures to further investigate any specific cardiovascular or heart concerns. We may also meet to discuss preventative treatments for blood pressure control and cholesterol management.
