Understanding cardiovascular risk before it becomes a problem.
The Heart Clinic provides specialist assessment for people who may have cardiovascular risk factors, are considering increased physical activity or require further investigation of high blood pressure.
Assessment considers factors including:
Where clinically appropriate, people preparing to begin or significantly increase an exercise programme can undergo assessment including clinical history, examination and appropriate cardiac testing.
When high blood pressure occurs at a younger age, is particularly severe or remains difficult to control, further investigation may be appropriate.
Assessment can include 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, echocardiography and additional investigations to identify potential underlying causes and assess the effect of hypertension on the heart.
The Heart Clinic provides GPs with access to a connected specialist cardiology pathway in Waterford.
