Consultation with Consultant
Our consultants see you in a clinic room where they will talk to you about your symptoms, examine you and then explain any further tests or treatment needed. If you have either not been seen by us before or not seen for a few years you generally have a new patient consult, which is up to 45 minutes. If you are coming back for test results or follow up this is generally a shorter follow-up appointment, which can take up to 30 minutes but is often less.
Non-invasive investigations
Non-Invasive Cardiology investigations are so called because they are painless and involve no needles! These tests are commonly requested by Cardiologists when investigating your heart. Wessex Cardiology provides a number of non-invasive cardiac investigations including exercise ECG testing, echocardiography, Holter ECG monitoring, cardiomemo recording and Holter blood pressure monitoring. These investigations may be recommended following a consultation with one of our Cardiologists or may be booked separately if required. All investigations are available by contacting Wessex Cardiology and all investigations are reported by one of our consultant cardiologists.

Your heart electrics & pumping
Your heart relies on a precise electrical system to maintain a regular rhythm and ensure it pumps blood efficiently around the body. When this electrical system becomes disrupted, it can lead to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), slow or fast heart rates, fainting episodes, palpitations or reduced heart function.

Your heart valves
Your heart contains four valves that ensure blood flows efficiently in the correct direction through the heart and around the body. When a valve becomes narrowed, damaged or leaky, it can place additional strain on the heart and lead to symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort, dizziness or reduced exercise capacity.

Your heart’s blood supply
Understanding the health of your coronary arteries is essential for diagnosing and treating many heart conditions. The coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, and when these arteries become narrowed or blocked, symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness and reduced exercise tolerance can occur.
