Cardiology

Cardiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the cardiovascular system which includes the heart, arteries, veins, arterioles, venules, and capillaries.

 

At One Ashford Hospital, we offer regular Outpatient clinics with our Consultant Cardiologists.  There possible, we aim to offer patients the convenience of a one-stop clinic to both reassure and make a diagnosis where necessary. We also provide cardiac screening to assess the health of your heart and your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

 

At One Ashford Hospital, we have a team of Cardiologists who can rapidly assess your condition.  Common conditions include:

 

  • Angina 
  • Coronary heart disease
  • Heart failure
  • Heart valve disease
  • Arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythms)
  • High blood pressure
  • Congenital heart conditions
  • Inherited heart conditions

 

Much of the work in Cardiology involves improving survival rates for patients and improving quality of life following heart attacks, heart failure, or heart rhythm disorders.  However, Cardiologists are also concerned with understanding the disease process and disease prevention.

 

This specialty is at the leading edge of new therapeutic and technological advances in medicine and emergency treatment.

Private Health Insurance

A number of patients do not realise that the cost of their treatment is covered by their private health insurance policy.  If you yourself have private health insurance (through work or a policy you took out yourself), it is worth checking to see if you could be covered.

 


 

Paying for Your Own Treatment

Patients can self-refer by calling our Reservations Department on 01233 423 000 directly to book a consultation.  Our competitive fixed price packages give clear transparent pricing to ensure patients feel confident that there will be no hidden bills.
