CaRi-heart technology
Revolutionary new technology to assess the risk of a serious heart condition or heart attack – many years before anything happens.
Building a picture of your heart to investigate and understand if there are any heart anomalies or cardiac disorders.
Diagnostic tests and imaging are fundamental for diagnosing and managing cardiac problems. The test results and scans help create an image of each patient’s heart to help guide what our cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and electrophysiologists do next. We only work with the most advanced cardiac imaging equipment, provided through the most comprehensive private cardiac diagnostics network in the UK. And it’s why the teams behind the equipment – from physiologists to reporting clinicians – are leaders in their field.
At HCA UK you can get test results within 48 hours * of your visit to us.
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a non-invasive way of recording your blood pressure over 24 hours or longer.
An ajmaline challenge test is a diagnostic procedure to detect or screen for Brugada syndrome, a rare but serious electrical heart disorder.
Holter monitor heart test. An electrocardiogram monitor measures and records your heart's rate and rhythm for a period of 24 hours to seven days.
BUBBLE STUDY A specialised cardiac ultrasound study, used to detect connections between the right and left side of the heart
CT coronary angiogram with calcium scoring. A cardiac CT scan offers a non-invasive technique to evaluate the heart arteries and structure of the heart using X-rays.
A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan creates detailed pictures of your heart and major blood vessels to help diagnose and treat heart problems.
Our technicians, physiologists, reporting clinicians and radiologists are all specialists — using our machines to get the most precise information possible. Many even super-specialise in particular diagnostic tests, technology and analysis.
Our imaging teams have introduced diagnostic technologies to the UK, like FFRct technology. Some have even introduced world-first technologies, like applying state-of-the-art bioengineering techniques to cardiac CT. Our consultants work with research institutions, lead panels to evaluate new technology, and are internationally recognised teachers in the field — one has founded the largest CT training academy in Europe.
In multi-disciplinary team meetings, imaging teams present patients’ results and discuss them with a room of senior clinicians. All the expertise in the room is channelled into choosing the best treatment for each patient.
We provide exceptional specialist care in all areas of cardiology and cardiac surgery across our network of outpatient centres and hospitals. As the UK's No.1 provider of private cardiac care, our multidisciplinary teams have cared for thousands of patients, just like you.
If heart symptoms are affecting your quality of life, we’re here to help. Our heart team is available to book an appointment with a cardiac specialist.
