Community Cardiology
Our Community Cardiology service provides specialised guidance in the management of current cardiac symptoms. Your GP may refer you to our service if you need a consultant assessment, diagnosis and management plan with a non-urgent cardiac condition, or if you need an echocardiogram, 24-hour electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring or 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring.
