Specialist cardiac teams
Every part of the heart is a branch of science in of itself. To achieve the depth of understanding and experience they need, consultants need to sub-specialise — in aortic vascular surgery, for example, or paediatric cardiac surgery.
Sub-specialising means our consultants perform their specialist procedures in greater volume than they would if they were a general heart doctor. The more they perform these procedures, the better the outcome for patients. This sub-specialism goes even further than our consultants. Our scrub nurses sub-specialise in assisting minimal access valve repairs, for instance, and our imaging technicians in cardiac MRIs and cardiac CT.
Specialising in every aspect of cardiac care
The world’s leading heart doctors — in one room
Our cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are some of the foremost minds in medicine — from the first person to perform non-contact mapping to treat heart arrhythmia, to the professor who advises the government on preventing heart disease. Working together across our hospitals, our consultants are pioneering new procedures and perfecting others. Their work doesn’t just change patients’ lives today. It changes lives for generations to come.
Our consultants and clinicians meet regularly to discuss complex patient cases. In a multi-disciplinary team meeting, they’ll scrutinise evidence, review images and debate diagnosis and treatment. Every opinion is heard and nobody defers to any one person. Together they channel decades of experience, gained treating thousands of patients, into making the best decision for every individual.
Working together in hand-picked teams
A team of seven works together to repair a thoracoabdominal aneurysm, for instance. It takes them seven hours. Three cardiac surgeons and three vascular surgeons perform intricate procedures to repair the wall of the aorta that extends from the chest into the abdomen. One consultant oversees the entire operation, like a conductor leading an orchestra.
It’s not just the teams in theatre that make these procedures extraordinary. To plan a TAVI, a minimally invasive way to replace a heart valve, consultants need the most accurate echocardiogram and CT images possible. Our imaging teams help them see exactly what size valve they need, and where it needs to go, before they even begin the procedure.

Judiths cardiac treatment
“I’m full of energy, doing the garden again and have my confidence back.”
Patient
At the age of 72, she was finally diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is a common heart rhythm disorder, which is caused by abnormal electrical signals from the pulmonary veins. Judith was put on heart medication, but it lowered her blood pressure so much that she felt faint. After she collapsed one day while out shopping, Judith began researching other treatment options.
Her search led her to the Atrial Fibrillation Centre at London Bridge Hospital. After a consultation, she decided to have cryoablation, one of the most cutting-edge procedures used to treat her condition. This technique involves inflating a balloon containing super-cooled gas inside the pulmonary vein to destroy the cells that are causing the abnormal heartbeat. The one-hour procedure was a success. Now Judith can get on with enjoying her retirement.
HCA UK cardiac hospitals
Our consultants perform huge volumes of procedures and treatments across our three hospitals. Specialist procedures are performed in each hospital, from the latest minimally invasive imaging to life-changing surgery. Our cardiac department brings together these three sites, outpatient facilities, and our consultants, nurses, teams and technology.
