Cardiology at Imperial College Healthcare private care benefits enormously from being embedded within a fully functioning NHS department offering the full range of investigations, diagnostics and treatments.
These are all in-house to mean that they're all carried out within the same hospital to limit travelling and for your convenience.
There's also the added benefit that the procedure is carried out within a busy hospital with all the support around where it needs to be required.
From procedures this can vary from pacemakers when your heart's going too slowly through to angiograms if we need to assess your heart arteries in more detail through to ablations where we can burn away bits of your heart that are causing you to have palpitations or dizziness or blackout through to replacing heart valves that aren't working as well as they should be.
Another major benefit having a procedure done at Imperial College Healthcare private care is that procedure will be performed by a fully functioning well-established team that do procedures like this day in day out.
