Conditions of the Heart
Our specialist cardiologists diagnose and treat a comprehensive range of heart conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease is plaque build-up in the coronary arteries, the arteries that supply blood to the heart and its coverings. Plaque is predominately fat from saturated products and choline - a nutrient traced in red meat, dairy and eggs.
Learn MoreIrregular Heartbeat (Arrhythmia)
An irregular heartbeat is what many doctors refer to as arrhythmia. Arrhythmia is inconsistent beating or fluttering of the heart muscle.
Learn MoreHeart Failure
Heart failure is a term to describe the heart's poor ability to pump blood efficiently. Heart failure is mainly due to the weakening of the heart muscle.
Learn MoreValvular Heart Disease
Valvular heart disease arises from damage to the heart's valves. The heart consists of four valves that maintain the steady flow of blood.
Learn MoreCongenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart disease is an abnormality affecting the heart which is present at birth. This congenital abnormality can affect the heart's valves, walls and blood vessels.
Learn MoreMedical Conditions Affecting the Heart
Heart disease refers to a collection of heart-related disorders affecting the performance of the heart muscle. Coronary artery disease is the most common medical condition affecting people worldwide. A high fat and cholesterol diet contributes to the development of coronary artery disease when the coronary arteries begin to narrow and restrict the flow of blood.

Advanced cardiac procedures performed with precision and care
Coronary Angiogram
A coronary angiogram utilises x-ray imaging to view the heart's blood vessels in detail. The test is designed to check for obstructions in the coronary arteries, limiting blood flow to the heart.
Learn MorePercutaneous Coronary Intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a procedure to reopen a blocked coronary artery. Fat and harmful cholesterol can get stuck in the coronary arteries and prevent smooth blood flow throughout the body.
Learn MoreEchocardiogram
An echocardiogram is a detailed scan used to analyse the heart and blood vessels. An ultrasound probe emits high-powered sound waves that produce echoes as the sound waves bounce against parts of the body.
Learn MoreTransoesophageal Echocardiogram
A transoesophageal echocardiogram is a test used to assess the heart's structure and function. Similar to a small microphone, a transducer emits high-powered ultrasound waves that penetrate the skin, bodily tissues and heart muscle.
Learn MoreElectrical Cardioversion
Electrical cardioversion is a quick and efficient procedure that corrects the irregular rhythm of the heart. A machine and adhesive patches (electrodes) deliver low-dose shock energy to the chest to control an abnormal heart rhythm such as atrial flutter.
Learn MorePacemaker Implants
A pacemaker is a 20-50g device inserted in the chest to correct a very slow heartbeat. The pacemaker emits electrical impulses that control the heart, preventing an irregular heartbeat.
