This department provides medical care to patients who have problems with their heart or circulation. It treats people on an inpatient and outpatient basis.
Typical procedures performed include:

● Electrocardiogram (ECG) and exercise tests to measure heart function

● Echocardiograms (ultrasound scan of the heart)

● Scans of the carotid artery in your neck to determine stroke risk

● 24-hour blood pressure tests

● Insertion of pacemakers

● Cardiac catheterisation (coronary angiography) to see if there are any blocks in your arteries.
