Patient testimonials

First, I can’t thank you enough for all your time, interest and care on Thursday.

Secondly, the one stop ‘plumb and sparks’ shop is seriously impressive, staffed by great, caring and efficient people who are fun. In about an hour to do an echo, treadmill test and take 49 blood samples etc. must be close to a W.R....

Seriously, from the patients point of view you are offering full diagnostics almost in the ‘golden hour’ whereas with most other approaches it takes more like a month! The expeditious approach apart from removing patients uncertainty which often weighs heavily means if necessary you are in to treatment almost immediately....

Patients will definitely feel that they and their quality of lfe is being put first.

Ambulatory 24 hour ECG Recording

Ambulatory ECG recording allows the Cardiologist to analyse your heart rhythm for a period of anywhere from 24 to 72hrs or beyond. You are connected to a small cardiac computer, about the size of a mobile telephone, which is clipped to your belt. You then return home and carry on with your daily activities. At the end of he pre-ordained period you will return and the cardiologist will download the information from the portable device to the computer for analysis. This will allow the cardiac team to determine if any rhythm problems, such as Atrial Fibrillation (AF), are present, and so allow treatment to be planned appropriately.
