Comprehensive Diagnostics

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. 

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.
