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.

Resting Electrocardiagram (ECG)

Resting Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test which is commonly used for basic evaluation of cardiac status. It records intrinsic electrical activity of the heart by placing electrodes on the limbs and chest. The recorded signals provide useful information regarding previous damage to the heart muscles, enlargement of heart chambers and abnormalities in the electrical system of the heart.

The ECG is used in diagnosis and initial management of acute heart attack and palpitations. A normal resting ECG does not rule out a heart problem.
