Symptoms

Symptoms of Cardiovascular Disease vary widely. Common symptoms are listed below:

Chest Pain
Shortage of Breath
Palpitations
Ankle Swelling
Lethargy or unexpected tiredness

The signs of Heart Disease are not always obvious and it can be difficult to tell what shape your heart is in. If you have risk factors for heart disease such as hypertension, obesity, family history, smoking or diabetes, the likelihood of suffering from such problems is much higher.

The risk of cardiovascular disease can be modified with the correct treatment and advice.

Services

Outpatient Consultations

Available at:

BMI Sarum Road Hospital, Winchester

BMI Hampshire Clinic, Basingstoke

Candover Private Patients Clinic, Basingstoke

(Situated on the Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital Site)

Adequate time is allocated to allow full discussion about your condition and answer any questions that may arise.

If you are self funding your appointment, this can be booked directly through our secretary. Initial consultations are charged at £200. Additional charges may be added if other tests are required on the same day.

If you have private medical insurance, you should discuss your concerns with your GP who can then refer you on to us. You may need to check with your insurance provider to ensure you have adequate cover.

Screening

In recent years it has become possible to identify problems with your heart or cardiovascular system before they cause a problem. The need for screening has been highlighted by several recent cases of cardiac arrest in the media.

At Winchester Cardiology we offer a range of screening programmes to detect some of the more dangerous heart conditions.

Tests

Tests may be performed either at the BMI Sarum Rd, Royal Hampshire County Hospital or Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital. Full discussion will be made with you prior to being booked for any tests and the reasons to perform these will be explained.
