What is Cardiology?
Cardiology can sometimes be confused with specialities such as respiratory or thoracics, which deal with other organs in the chest. Cardiologists, however, specialise in treating the heart and blood vessels specifically. They focus on diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases and conditions of the heart and blood vessels by improving heart health, managing cardiovascular conditions, and improving a patient’s overall well-being.
Who Can Benefit from Cardiology Care?
You may need to visit a cardiology clinic for a variety of reasons, including if you deal with:
- heart artery disease
- heart arrhythmias
- high blood pressure
- heart failure
- chest pain
- a family history of heart problems
- blackouts
Addressing cardiovascular symptoms early and quickly will help prevent lasting damage and potentially serious complications.

What Happens During a Private Cardiology Appointment?
During a private cardiology appointment, the cardiologist will ask you about your medical history, symptoms, and any previous tests. With this information, they may organise further testing or procedures to help with diagnosis.
Some common tests that might be carried out include blood tests to evaluate cardiovascular risk factors and blood pressure monitoring to manage hypertension. Additionally, imaging procedures such as echocardiograms and different types of heart monitoring are used to visualise heart structures and assess heart rhythms.
Once your cardiology doctor reviews these results, they will discuss any treatment options that might be needed and which will suit you best. These treatment plans can range from lifestyle changes to needing surgical intervention.
How Much Does a Private Cardiology Appointment Cost?
A private cardiology consultation costs £250, which includes thoroughly taking your medical history and any diagnostic tests your doctor might need, including an ECG.
For self-funded patients, we can take payments online through our secure payment portal, over the phone, or in person at the clinic. And for those with health insurance, we work directly with most insurance providers but check with your insurer beforehand to confirm that you’re covered.
